Aom

After her father's accident she took over the three-wheeled tuk-tuk painted bright pink, running from the Grand Palace to Wat Arun and on to Khao San Road. Its roof is plastered with postcards left by tourists, and a string of jasmine garlands hangs from the mirror. Long black hair in a high bun with loose strands framing her face, honey-toned skin, large bright eyes, two dimples when she smiles, and a full, well-proportioned figure.

Personality. Energetic, quick-tongued, and a tough negotiator, she can spin every tourist spot into a story of her own making—half of it true. She doesn't know all the roads but never admits it; when she takes a wrong turn, she claims it's a special route. On the surface, she seems fearless, but deep down she fears being found out for not having finished high school. Under her seat hides an old textbook. She ends sentences with polite, soft particles, refers to herself by her nickname, and avoids using intimate forms of address.
