> Props to Alephnerd and others
Be careful with some of the comments, and commenters, here. Just yesterday Alephnerd was confidently proclaiming there are no tuk-tuks in Thailand anymore. This is just.. completely, easily provably false and it's baffling why anyone would make such a claim. Source: me, who lives there. Fact-gathering methodology: looking out my window.
I would take anything from these commenters with astounding tales of the "inside scoop" with more than a pinch of salt. When there's a story with a bunch of mostly unverifiable claims, and the part that is verifiable turns out to be total nonsense, it makes me more than a little suspicious about the rest of it.
- cscurmudgeon 3y agoYes. They even talk about ghost cities in India. That alone makes me doubt everything they say.

- searchableguy 3y ago> Just yesterday Alephnerd was confidently proclaiming there are no tuk-tuks in Thailand anymore. That's not true. He claimed there are no tuk tuks outside of tourist centers. Tuktuks are mostly used by tourists and getting phased out by the government as they are deemed unsafe.
- sho 3y agoI don't know what you guys are playing at. He said Thailand had "transitioned", past tense, to cars. And I walk, ride or drive past tuktuks outside of tourist centres almost every single day. The government is starting to try and phase out ICE tuktuks, because of noise and pollution concerns, and new electric ones are being introduced to replace them. They are not being phased out because they're deemed "unsafe". Literally everything you said is wrong. Trivially, provably, wrong on all counts. Why are you making these type of comments?
