Tuk Tuks

Without regular taxis, a good portion of our travel time was spent in the back of a tuk tuk or 3-wheeled motorcycle. They're not dissimilar to the Thai tuk tuks, but the view from the back is quite different from what you see on the roads of Thailand.

It was the Chinese New Year, so most families were packing up to visit relatives. Along with the kitchen sink, this family was taking the chickens - hanging upside down (and alive) from the back of their mini-van.


This guy had six pigs crammed in the back of his cart.


The Cambodian grocery-getter.


More chickens on the back of a motorcycle. Once again, still alive to ensure they're fresh for supper.


Traffic was insane with motorcycles coming from every direction and filling every inch of road space.


This is a compilation of videos taken while in the back of tuk tuks in Siem Reap. The last guy almost killed us as he made a wrong turn into oncoming traffic.
