  • Ayutthaya Style Tuk-Tuk - The vehicles known as Tuk-Tuks originated in Japan by Daihatsu.  They were then  produced in Thailand years later evolving as a motorized relative of the rickshaw. The Tuk-Tuk was given its name from the sound of the early models with single stroke motors powering the first three-wheelers.  They had a distinctive sound when operating, and the "tuk-tuk" sound became a familiar to many in need of convenient transportation in Bangkok. The technology and quality have improved over the years, while emerging as one of Thailand's most recognizable and identifiable symbols.

  • Wednesdays at Malatapay Market are always abuzz with activity. It is a place where livestock growers, local farmers and fishermen converge to sell their fresh produce. It is a whole day fair for the townspeople, shoppers and visitors. Locals from neighboring towns also take part in the market day.  Malatapay provides an experience of the traditional Filipino barter system because the locals trade goods within themselves and with vendors who hail from the nearby Apo Island and those who live in the next towns. On other days, Malatapay is an oddly quiet place with not even a hint of activity going on. The market’s exclusive mid week only schedule always makes it something to look forward to for everybody.
