One Long Tuk Tuk Ride

[TotallyOz]

The longest journey by a Tuk Tuk was 37,410 km (23,245 miles) and was completed by Susi Bemsel and Daniel Snaider (both Germany) from Bangkok, Thailand to Eichstätt, Germany, between 8 February and 17 December 2005.

 

What an amazing accomplishment! They even made it into the Guinness Book of World Records for this. I doubt that anyone in their right mind would ever attempt to break such a record. I am sure some nut will attempt it to break it one day and I wish them great luck!

Getting all the visas must have been a challenge.

Not as much of a challenge as finding a Tuk Tuk with a heavy-duty, reinforced, titanium suspension system.

More surprising to me is all those countries that even allowed the vehicle (the tuktuk) on their roads (not only because of how it's built but the insurance requirements). Strange.

An alternative trip is Thailand to the United States.

 

Thailand to Laos to China to Russia then a boat to the good ole USA. Maybe Sarah Palin would greet the tuk tuk if no gay people were in it.

If you get to the eastern end of Russia in the dead of winter you can drive across the Bering Straits to Alaska, visit Sarah, the down the Al-Can Highway to USA. You probably would freeze your jewels off in a tuk tuk.

So, GT, did you buy that Tuk Tuk and when you do you start your odyssey?

For past 10 years professional russian traveler Fiodor Konukhov had 3 tries to cross Bering Straits on ski... All 3 were unsuccessful: too warm weather - no ice in center of straits

Sarah's daughter is on dancing with the stars this season and I thought she did an OK job on her first performance in the competition.

I do not own a Tuk Tuk. Although the odyssey sounds like fun. It may be something I have to consider in my old age.

You'd better hurry; it's fast approaching.
