I'll stick with the tuktuk I own, its fun to drive past all the "tamruat jahp" helmet check points. as there are no rules involved with a tuktuk.[/quote]

how about some pic's of the old tukkers.....has it been pimped up or standard.?
Interested regarding cost to .[/quote]

You probably seen it before, it was one of Udons most famous tuktuks, formerly the "karabow dang"
I de-stickered it and fixed everything that the previous owner neglected.

Yes its pimped now, I had added halogen lights for the front and a blue lowrider light underneath the tuktuk. The halogen lights are for the "low key, stealth motorbikes" that like to ride around at night with no headlights on. It has GPS navigation, via a hand held Garmin :D

I would like to lower it even more, I lowered the front 1X already.

It cost me 40,000 baht, I over paid, but its now in top shape.

Just out of curiosity, are there any decent workshops about that specialise in tuk tuk conversions, some similar to steve's as a concept, but maybe on a smaller scale
