Editing Auto rickshaw (section)

==== Thailand ====
The auto rickshaw, called tuk-tuk ({{langx|th|ตุ๊ก ๆ}}, {{IPA|th|túk túk|pron}}) in Thailand, is a widely used form of urban transport in [[Bangkok]] and other Thai cities. The name is [[onomatopoeic]], mimicking the sound of a small (often two-cycle) engine. It is particularly popular where [[traffic congestion]] is a major problem, such as in Bangkok and [[Nakhon Ratchasima]]. In Bangkok in the 1960s, these were called samlaws, and they are still popularly called that today.

Bangkok and other cities in Thailand have many tuk-tuks which are a more open variation on the Indian auto rickshaw. About 20,000 tuk-tuks were registered as taxis in Thailand in 2017.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Wattanasukchai|first1=Sirinya|title=With our tuk tuks, let's copy the Dutch |url=http://www.bangkokpost.com/opinion/opinion/1191193/with-our-tuk-tuks-lets-copy-the-dutch|access-date=2 February 2017|work=Bangkok Post|date=2 February 2017}}</ref> Bangkok alone is reported to have 9,000 tuk-tuks.<ref>{{cite news|title=Thailand government says Bangkok has too many 'tuk-tuks'|url=https://asiancorrespondent.com/2016/04/thailand-government-says-bangkok-has-too-many-tuk-tuks/|access-date=2016-04-15|work=Asian Correspondent|date=2016-04-15|archive-date=2016-04-26|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160426023304/https://asiancorrespondent.com/2016/04/thailand-government-says-bangkok-has-too-many-tuk-tuks/|url-status=dead}}</ref>
