Amari Bangkok Launches its First EV Tuk Tuk: A Sustainable Way to Explore Bangkok’s Vibrant Heart

 

Amari Bangkok part of ONYX Hospitality Group, has unveiled its brand-new EV Tuk Tuk, a modern and eco-conscious reimagining of Thailand’s iconic three-wheeler. The new service invites guests to explore the bustling Bangkok neighbourhoods of Pratunam and Ratchaprasong in comfort and style, while championing responsible, eco-conscious travel.

 

Iconic City Sights
Guests can enjoy convenient drop-offs at some of the city’s must-see highlights, including the sacred Four Face Buddha, the bustling shopping and entertainment hub of Siam Square, the vibrant Bangkok Art and Culture Centre, and the historic Jim Thompson House with its traditional teak architecture and lush gardens.

 

Driving Sustainability in the City
The EV Tuk Tuk embodies Amari’s commitment to enriching guest experiences while protecting the environment. Offering an immersive, low-emission way to explore the city, it perfectly blends eco-conscious travel with authentic cultural discovery.

 

Connecting Guests Authentically to Bangkok
One of the hallmarks of the Amari brand is creating genuine connections between guests and the local destination. The EV Tuk Tuk embodies this ethos, offering more than just transport—it’s a cultural bridge. Guests are accompanied by a dedicated City Explorer, a knowledgeable host who shares the stories, traditions, and hidden gems that make Bangkok unique.

 

Highlights of the EV Tuk Tuk Experience include:

• Sustainability in Motion – Travel through Bangkok’s vibrant streets with an eco-conscious perspective, reducing your carbon footprint while maximising cultural connection.
• Cultural Immersion – Discover the history and significance of each stop, from sacred sites to bustling markets.
• Curated Landmarks – Convenient drop-offs at must-see attractions such as the Four Face Buddha, Siam Square, the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre, and the Jim Thompson House.

 

Beyond the Destination

 

Rooted in Amari’s brand DNA of celebration, contemporary design, and Thainess, the EV Tuk Tuk transforms each ride into a story-led experience. Whether visiting temples, discovering street art, or exploring lively shopping streets, the journey blends environmental responsibility with authentic cultural storytelling, leaving guests with a deeper connection to Bangkok’s spirit.

 

The motorised tuk-tuk in Thailand emerged in the post-World War II era, during a time when cities like Bangkok were growing rapidly. By the 1960s, tuk-tuks became widely used in urban areas. While modern cities rely heavily on taxis, buses, and ride-hailing services, tuk-tuks remain iconic, popular with both locals for short trips and tourists seeking the “classic Thai” experience.

 

Guests staying at Amari Bangkok can enjoy the EV Tuk Tuk experience as part of their stay, adding a distinctive, sustainable dimension to their Bangkok adventures.
