WHERE TO BUY A TUK TUK IN THAILAND.

WHERE TO BUY A TUK TUK AND OTHER 

GREAT 3 WHEELERS IN THAILAND

                                                       

 LOK8RBOUTIQUE IS LOOKING TO BUY,

 OUR CHOICES!.




I must admit to having a real soft spot for this most iconic of Thailand Vehicles, the Tuk Tuk is a real favourite with my family, my son Jimmy who is only 2 years old , is delighted every time he sees a Tuk Tuk, shouting TUK TUK very loudly and gettin' very excited, it does bring some strange looks from his fellow Thai folk!
OK , now why are we looking at 3 wheelers!
Well, My  Business lok8rboutique is set to grow this year and part of our marketing is to be  more visible to Tourists, Travellers and people Living here and also those on Business in Thailand and Laos, and we promote Local Indy Biz and Affordable Quality...get where I'm coming from ..so the Iconic TUK TUK , loved by many foreigners is a great choice, but what other options are available, and where can I get i one from????
So I started to do a little bit of research and I've come up with several options and I hope you'll enjoy our selection , It would be good to b get some feed back to before we make our final choice.
So come with us on our 3 wheeled journey and see what choice we make and in a later edition we will go the factory and choice our Machine and show you around and you can follow our 3 wheel plans from start to finish!!!

TUK TUKS ARE POPULAR WITH MANY HOTELS.

TUK TUKS CARRY PEOPLE AND CARGO.

Let's start with the traditional TUK TUK, I guess most of us who live or visit Bangkok see this in it;\'s most common form as a TAXI, racing around the Streets of Bangkok, these have actually cleaned their act up a lot as far sa pollution is concerned and the majority run on gas..LPG, so they are actually Eco-Friendly!
The Company we have chosen is.....
They actually have a great selection of TUK TUK's not just the Taxi, but several modifications, they provide a long or short wheel base, so they offer a comprehensive range of TUK TUk's.
We at lok8rboutique are looking to make a bit of impact and be noticed so we would opt for a longer wheelbase and not the traditional Taxi style, so we would choose a Van Style as we don't want or need to carry passengers! I love this as you will stand out a b nd willl certainly be noticed especially with a cool paint job!
Next.....OK this is not A TUK TUK as we KNOW IT!

THE SKY LAB VERY POULAR IN N.E. THAILAND & LAOS.

I first saw this when I first visited the North East of Thailand , they are fairly common around Udon And Nong Khai Area, Bordering on Laos! I saw a motorbike front, it has a very recognisable Motorbike Front and then a 2 wheeled seating area behind with bench seats, again it's used as a Taxi and is generally used the same as a TUK TUK in Bangkok, so is it a TUK TUK, what do the locals call it?
The answer...It Is A SKYLAB! Many  people even Thai don't know this, but yes that's the name, The Builders of this super cool machine helped me with a little bit of History, apparently it goes back to the 1970's when the first started developing and building this machine it coincided with the launch of the US SPACE LAB,  a vehicle for the future and the name stuck!
I really do love this I really think it would offer a somewhat quirky twist on the traditional TUK TUK, particularly in Bangkok where we will be based for now.Again we would go r for a van style, the company offer several great options and their choice of colour and artwork is fantastic.
I know what is happening here...spoilt for choice!!
Last, but no way least, here again a twist on the 3 wheel theme now!

THAT'S ME TRYIN' OUT A CLASSIC & SIDECAR.

I am a very enthusiastic motorbike lover...all shapes and sizes,if it has 2 wheels I love it, just like the space lab. So here i have taken my love of classic motorcycles and Thailand to try to come up with something very Thai, and I think i have succeeded. Tiger is a great Thai Motorbike Manufacturer and They are producing some great machines, particularly Classic Bikes. I love their style and quality and one bike is the...Classic Moped, and they actually do a version with a side car!!!!
This will fill our g criteria of being a Head Tuner and being Noticed and being Classic and Thai, It will certainly make Thai folk turn their heads too!
To sum up I love all three and if I could afford it I would buy one of each, but right now, I can't and I don't have the space yet, but this is a solution that I am seriously considering. But we only need one to start with!I hope you enjoyed this and please tell us what would you choose! I promise i will consider all comments.
All of these companies are really friendly and very helpful.
