Thailand

Tuktuks are a type of motorized rickshaw, that in Thai are collectively referred to as sahmloh (fig.), i.e. tricycles, and of which there are many different models.

 

This  variety, in use on Koh Si Chang in Chonburi Province, is known as rot saamloh skailaeb, i.e. the skylab tuktuk. It consists of a motorbike, covered with a roof or not, and with an extended car-like part for passengers to be seated. In the back is the island's lighthouse.
