Tuk-Tuk Noise Control Measures – What Do We See?
In late July 2026, the Department of Land Transport (DLT) proposed a draft regulation to ban internal combustion engine tuk-tuks from inner Bangkok, exempting electric tuk-tuks. The proposal is open for public comment until August 27, 2026, with no ban yet in effect.
