The tuk-tuk threads through narrow lanes of Rattanakosin like a curious insect, horns and engines chattering as gilded chedis flash between alleys. You pull up near the City Pillar Shrine, feel the weight of ritual in the air, then drift past the Giant Swing where old Brahmin ceremonies once tested courage and balance.
