Tuk-tuk

Shot near Tha Tien pier in Bangkok, Thailand.

After enjoying watching the big white pagoda in Wat Arun, I embarked on a passenger ferry again. There is a ferry landing in the precinct of the temple as if it is made just for the tourists. And I came back to Phra Nakhon District where the Grand Palace and Wat Poh were located.

Many shops and stalls did business near Tha Tien pier because many tourists came here to get on the ferry. I walked through between the shops. And I found a tuk-tuk parked by the roadside when I stepped out the street. Maybe, it waited for customers here. Yet no driver was seen around the vehicle. Its engine was not lighted and it stopped silently.

By the way, I think it is uncommon to take a tuk-tuk for local people. It seemed to be used just for tourists. The vehicle like tuk-tuk might be way behind the times. However, foreign tourists prefer to hire for that reason.
