  • In my opinion, driving a tuk-tuk is the best way to travel around Sri Lanka.
    If you're interested in renting a tuk tuk yourself, here's more info: tuktukrental.com/steveyalo

    Sri Lanka is an amazing country to travel. I recently shared a video discussing the big question I keep getting asked: "IS IT SAFE TO TRAVEL SRI LANKA?"
    To see that video click here: • Sri Lanka SAFE to trav...
    I'll soon be sharing a longer series bringing you along for the entire month's adventure here in Sri Lanka. Stay tuned for that coming soon!

    Damn, those elephants were fer real! Crazy. I guess they're used to the vehicles? Seems like they could just squish one of those tuk-tuks in one stomp. Luckily you survived to tell the tale.

    • @SteveYalo
      @SteveYalo  5 лет назад +2

      Yea man!! Wild elephants are no joke! I think they're used to people feeding them so that's why they some near the road. But driving past in a small tuktuk was definitely intimidating! Those animals are not small.

    In Peru, we have a lot. But maybe there's something that doesn't work at all (laws or permissions). Because when there are car accidents. This tuk tuk breaks into pieces like an egg and people die. I can drive one by the way. A friend of mine taught me so. It's a lot of fun

      You may know this, actually the name tuk-tuk came from the sound it made when it came with 2 stroke petrol engines.
      But now it comes with a 4 stroke engine but the famous TUK TUK name goes on...!!!
      You are more than welcome to visit here again...Thanks

    Well I found your video by googling how to drive a tuk-tuk. The reason I need to know this is because my wife and I have just moved to Siargao in the Philippines and you really need to have your own transportation. So I am buying a second hand tuk_tuk. Mixed emotions.
