The tuk-tuk is the Southeast Asian version of a vehicle known elsewhere as an auto rickshaw or cabin cycle. The tuk-tuk is widely used as urban transport here in Bangkok (and other Thai cities, as well as other major Southeast Asian and South Asian cities). In the background is Wat Pho (or Po), the oldest and largest wat (Buddhist temple or monastery) in Bangkok, with the longest reclining Buddha and the largest collection of Buddha images in Thailand. Wat Pho is located outside the south wall of the Grand Palace.
