If you're a Paris resident or recent visitor, you've likely spotted them zipping through the streets. The iconic Thai tuk-tuks have arrived in the City of Light.
Originally a pedal-powered tricycle taxi known as a "samlor" in poorer regions, the tuk-tuk evolved with a scooter replacing the bicycle.
Of Japanese origin, it became distinctly Thai through vibrant decorations like flashing lights and lucky stickers.
Once Thailand's most common transport, tuk-tuks are declining due to inefficiency but endure as cultural symbols and tourist favorites.
