Tuk-tuks are essentially 3-wheel motorcycles with a carriage for 2 passengers and a driver fitted on top. They take up half a lane of traffic, and make double the noise of a motorcycle.
You get the smell, the noise and the stress, all bundled up in one unforgettable experience, which you hope ends as soon as it begins.
The tuk-tuk drivers are ruthless machines with a nerve of steel. They get a flat rate, agreed upon in advance, so they're in a hurry to drop you off ASAP and get the next customer. The highlight of one such ride was a swerve into oncoming traffic along with some other motorcycles, in order to pass a slow truck. Who needs roller coasters anyway?
