About Tuk Or Walk
Before this site, I was already documenting trips on Google Maps — my photo contributions there have 7.3 million views. Tuk Or Walk is the long-form version: same honesty, more detail, no sponsored fluff.
Tuk Or Walk is one person writing up trips as they happen — the exact hotel, the exact price, the exact time it took to walk between stops, and the parts most blogs leave out because a sponsor wouldn't like them.
If you want the polished version, there are a hundred sites for that. This one is for the traveler who wants to know what the room is really like, whether there's anywhere to eat nearby, and whether ฿500 is a good deal or not.
Start with Sathorn — it's the most complete walk so far. Sri Lanka, Laos, and India are on the way.
