The “tuk-tuk” experience

Banyan Tree hotels and resorts curate a plethora of choices to achieve a truly customised stay.

Banyan Tree Samui resort has opened what might be the quirkiest if not the cutest bar in Thailand — a cocktail caravan re-modelled from a classic 1960s tuk-tuk which is virtually unseen on the streets of Thailand these days. The “frogs”, as they were commonly nicknamed, were everywhere. Thousands of these 12 HP 350cc three-wheelers were manufactured by Japan’s Daihatsu company and exported to Thailand starting in 1959 to form a fleet of taxis nationwide. Revived from retirement, and now dubbed the Froggy Sea Breeze Beach Bar, the emerald-green van today serves up cocktails, beers and spirits to Banyan Tree guests and non-guests alike in a quiet cove in the southeast of the island between the popular beaches of Chaweng and Lamai. The sweet’ n sour froggy melon, garnished in mint leaves, or The Botanical, in gin and absinthe infused cocktail are some of the highly recommended sips at the Froggy Sea Breeze Bar.
