Encounter a boat, the lateral plane is pulled by the passengers, so you will not get wet from the stinking water. Tuk Tuks have 3 wheels and provide a seat for maximal 3 persons. For a fixed price the tuk tuk are interested to deliver you quick at your target. They wait only in the traffic jam if you have agreed for a time payment, for example 1 hour 100 baht.
