Laotian tuk-tuk

The photo shows Laotian tuk-tuk. I took this photo in Vientiane, Laos near Patuxai. Compare to tuk-tuks in Thailand or Sri Lanka, Laotian tuk-tuks look more like motorbikes. Around the front wheel exactly looks like a motorbike, but around the back wheels looks like a rickshaw or a carriage. Lao tuk-tuks make a noisy sound like Vroom, Vroom and I think it's sort of a sound of Vientiane; the capital of Laos. Fun to hear, fun to ride. Tuk-tuks are ubiquitous in South and South East Asian countries. I used them a lot of times in Bangkok, Thailand, Vientiane, Laos, and many cities in Sri Lanka. I'd say tuk-tuks are roofed motorbike with three wheels. Very useful vehicles to look around a city. If you take tuk-tuks, it's important to negotiate a price in advance. That's the only thing you need to memorize.
