Photographer’s Note
Tuk-Tuks can be a very efficient way of getting around cities in Thailand, though efficient sometimes means breakneck speed.
In Bangkok, Tuk-Tuks are generally more expensive than taxis unless you want to stand in the sweltering heat and barter. A better bet is to catch one in one of the smaller cities. It's a fun way to get from Chiang Rai city to the airport.
This is the effect I was going for in this photo. Lots of colours and blurry movement. A Tuk-Tuk ride is anything but relaxing; why should its photo be?

VERY cool. I think this shot speaks only to people who have taken a Tuk Tuk before, especially at night with the driver dodging traffic and the neon lights flowing by you in blur. This is the exact feeling that I get from this shot. Well done.

I have never taken Tuk Tuk – but I like this artistic image very much. Great atmosphere shot with nice colors and blur. Very-very well captured.
