FROM BANGKOK TO BRIGHTON BY TUK-TUK

I recently stumbled across a website detailing two women who are attempting to drive a tuk-tuk — the three-wheeled Bangkok variety — from Thailand's capital city to that of Brighton in England.  Their goal is to raise money for the mental health charity Mind.  Having perused the main webstie, I'm now getting caught up on their blog; they are now somewhere in Laos.  Check out Tuk To The Road for some very interesting reading...  (BTW, while in Bangkok last month, I had Tim ask a tuk-tuk driver how much one of these vehicles usually sold for.  I think he said a new one cost 20,000 baht which is just under USD $525.)
