Chiang Mai Tuk-Tuk
As I mentioned before, a tuk-tuk is 100% crumple zone, passenger seating included. It gives you all the excitement and danger of being on a motorcycle but has seating for two in the back, or possibly three if you are daring or crazy.
What I like about this video is that you get a good view of Chiang Mai’s road system and moat. The moat goes around the old part of the city and was constructed around 1400, when moats were still viable defense mechanisms. The traffic outside the moat goes clockwise and inside the moat goes anticlockwise. It’s like a square boulevard, really, and can be quite disconcerting if you are on the wrong side of the moat and see your destination fly by on the other side as the driver looks for a spot to cross the moat and reverse course.
