Tuktuk survey - do you need music and toilet paper ?

Post by Anchor Moy »

No idea what this is for or about. Something about improving the tuktuk experience. If you could have anything in a tuktuk, what would you choose to make it better ?

Spoiler:
I would just like it to make it over the overpass or up the hill without the engine boiling over. But I have modest needs. 8-)
Edit: Actually a cool box with beer would improve the experience; and an ashtray so I can be environmentally-friendly.

During today's rain, I was looking for the life-jackets.

I know a few drivers who have sounds and LEDs and stuff in their tuk-tuks. Sometimes it's funny driving around with some brainless techno on and flashing lights, but I usually tell them to fucking can it when we get to residential neighborhoods.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Some sort of walky-talky system to communicate with the driver could be good too. You know, so he doesn't have to turn right around and face you while driving straight ahead into oncoming traffic as you shout TURN LEFT in your impeccable khmer that he can't hear/doesn't understand. :director:

drivers that KNOW where you want to go when you tell them or at least say they have no idea. I'm thinking a tuk tuck yellow cab thang would sell. Drivers that spoke SOME English, had a basic map, ice chest. Painted same color so you could spot em on the fly and hail em.

Most Tuk-tuk drivers in Temple Town speak pretty good English. I steer clear of the Bob-Marley-blasting ones. My go-to Tuk-tuk driver always has an ice box with very cold beer on board when he picks me up from the airport.
