TOURING TRANG BY TUK TUK HUA KOP


The Trang variation of the

Touring Trang with
Tuk Tuk Hua Kop
Handbook

The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) has worked in cooperation with Trang Municipality Office, the Trang Tuk Tuk Club and Trang Tourism Association to jointly develop three special sightseeing routes in Trang Municipality. All feature sites and attractions that are of historical importance and cultural interest.

The tuk tuk hua kop is a small motorised tricycle with a roof and is one of the last remaining traditional modes of transportation to be seen around Thailand. Unlike the famous tuk tuks found in the capital, the Trang equivalent has its own unique characteristics. It has a modern round steering wheel and accommodates up to five passengers; one person rides in the front cab next to the driver, and the remaining are seated in the back. It is powered by a two-cylinder engine and can reach a speed of 60 kph.

Everyone who embarks on this special tour will receive a handbook – Touring Trang with Tuk Tuk Hua Kop. This is the only guide you’ll need to help you find your way along the route – a cultural trail that connects the past with the present.

Touring Trang with Tuk Tuk Hua Kop takes you on a fascinating journey through time.
