Speaking of memorable images of visiting "Ayutthaya", besides seeing the valuable ancient sites, riding a "frog-faced tuk-tuk" around the city island is an experience not to be missed. This three-wheeled vehicle with a distinctive appearance is like a living symbol of Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Province, with a long history dating back to the post-World War II period. Originally, it was a Daihatsu Midget mini-truck imported from Japan and became very popular in the commercial district, becoming the main vehicle here to this day.
The charm of the frog-faced tuk-tuk lies in its compactness and agility, ideal for navigating the old streets around the city island, which are full of important temples and economic areas such as Chao Phrom Market or Hua Ro Market. Tourists can hire a service to see the beauty of Wat Mahathat or Wat Chaiwatthanaram conveniently, without worrying about parking or getting lost. You also get beautiful photos with a vintage design car that is unique, which is hard to find in other provinces, making your holiday trip full of happiness and impressive retro vibes.
Today, the frog-faced tuk-tuk driver groups in Ayutthaya continue to maintain service standards and maintain the cars in excellent condition to welcome visitors. Choosing to use the frog-faced three-wheeled service not only helps distribute income to the local community but also helps preserve the cultural heritage on the road to stay with this World Heritage City. For anyone planning to come to Ayutthaya on this holiday, don't forget to pin a spot to try riding a frog-faced car once, and you will fall in love with the simple charm of the old city even more.
