Gallery: Bangkok tuk-tuk driver confessions
Got a big load? Want to get somewhere fast and cheap? Bangkok's tuk-tuk drivers are the go-to guys.
Sure, they are known for hassling passers-by, palming cheap gas coupons for dropping hapless foreigners at tailors' shops and inflating prices well beyond the local rate for anyone who doesn't know better.
But they're not all bad. And given that almost everyone in Bangkok has ridden in a tuk-tuk at least once, you can bet a lot of weird stuff happens in them.
We hit up 11 tuk-tuk drivers to find out some of their most memorable experiences on the job.
Work neighborhood: Nonthaburi pier
Most memorable experience: "A drunk guy hired me to take him and his friend to Tao Pun. When we got there, I told him the fare was 50 baht. They said 'no way, that's too much, we'll give you 30.' We argued for a few minutes, then they beat me up and ran away."
