THAILAND: BELGIAN TRAVELS IN TUK-TUK TAXI FROM THAILAND TO BRUSSELS
English/Nat
A plucky Belgian traveller and his faithful dog have set out on what sounds like the journey from hell ... from Thailand to Brussels, by Tuk-Tuk taxi automobile.
Axel Ewbank and Raja will steer their noisy three-wheeler through fifteen countries, and expect to be on the road for almost a year.
The 32-year-old from Brussels was in relaxed mood as he coaxed his four-legged travelling companion aboard, before turning the ignition key for the first of many times to come.
The journey's part-funded by Thailand's tourism bosses, and they ensured they wouldn't set out unannounced - a cavalcade of 49 Tuk-Tuk's ushered the duo through Bangkok's specially-cleared streets.
Axel's girlfriend rode with them for some of the way.
As Odysseys go, this one's odder than most ... 20,000 kilometres (12,400 miles) in an uncomfortable, noisy three-wheeler, that's prone to breakdowns and flat tyres.
For Axel though, it's been an ambition from the moment he saw his first Tuk-Tuk, last year.
SOUNDBITE:
It's beautiful. The design is beautiful and it's so uncommon to see it in Europe that I just want to bring it back to Europe so all the people will see the beautiful engine. It's beautiful. It's a love story.
SUPER CAPTION: Axel Ewbank, Adventurer
Axel paid just over a thousand dollars to help modify his Tuk-Tuk. The Tourist Authority paid another eight thousand.
He'll head first to Malaysia, then to the subcontinent, the Middle East and finally to northern Europe.
With few spares, and just a few tyres, Axel will rely on the skill of roadside mechanics.
At least he won't be lonely - Raja the seven month old mongrel has health clearance to get him through every frontier on the way.
SOUNDBITE:
I got a chance to save him being put back on the street and I thought it might be a good idea to bring a dog with me because it's company, it's a friend and it's protection. So I think it's a good idea, but I wasn't planning to take a dog on this trip. I was planning to take one on the next trip. But we're a good team now.
SUPER CAPTION: Axel Ewbank, Adventurer
The Tuk-Tuk is virtually a symbol of Thailand. In Bangkok, thousands of them ply their trade as taxis every day.
For drivers, the thought of the ten month haul had them pondering the fare they would demand.
SOUNDBITE: (Thai)
Ooh! To Brussels ? Let's think. Fifty thousand baht! That's two thousand dollars, not to mention the tip.
SUPER CAPTION: Sokrapong, Tuk-Tuk driver
Axel says he fears tiredness and back pain, but is determined to finish.
In fact he says, when he does, he plans to turn around and come straight back again.

BELGIUM: TUK-TUK ADVENTURER & HIS DOG ARRIVE AFTER 10 MONTH JOURNEY
English/Nat
A Belgian adventurer and his dog have arrived in Brussels after a ten-month journey from Thailand in a tuk-tuk taxi.
Axel Ewbank and his dog Raja made the trip in Bangkok's typical three-wheel taxi to promote tourism in the country.
His journey of over 33-thousand kilometres ( 21,000 miles) through fifteen countries finally came to an end in Brussels at the famous Atomium monument.
As Axel Ewbank's battered tuk-tuk arrived, family and friends were there to greet the intrepid Belgian taxi driver.
Axel's mother was the first to welcome her son after the gruelling journey.
There were also plenty of admiring onlookers to witness the event.
In the back seat of the tuk-tuk taxi, as ever, Axel's faithful Raja; his only travelling companion since the two set off from Bangkok in September last year.
The Belgian adventurer chose Brussels' futuristic Atomium monument for his arrival and his optimism clearly remained undented by his exacting exploit.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
I said it in Bangkok and I did it. Nothing or nobody could stop us, and here we are. We just did it. And I just want to put on the front glass: Just do it, crossed and say go for the next one and we are gonna go for the next one.
SUPER CAPTION: Axel Ewbank
Alex Ewbank's incredible journey started in Bangkok, Thailand on September 15th last year.
He loaded up his unlikely form of transport for the mammoth journey which was to take him through Malaysia, Nepal, Bhutan, India, Pakistan, Iran, Turkey , Greece, Italy and France.
His 33-thousand-510 kilometre trip (21,000 miles) was full of adventures, breakdowns, flat tyres and robberies.
The worst experience was in Ispahan, Iran where he lost all his possessions except the tuk-tuk .... the thieves said they could not use it in Iran.
But there were also better moments.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
The most positive experience we had was the welcoming by the Indian people. It was bloody freezing night and these people had only one room and they slept outside. They gave us blankets and their room. And in the morning when we woke up, we saw them freezing outside. There were five of them. They give us the room so we could be a little bit comfortable. That's the best human experience had. But the best scenery experience was the sunrise on the Everest. That was absolutely beautiful.
SUPER CAPTION: Axel Ewbank
On his arrival in Brussels, Axel Ewbank announced his plans to travel with his tuk-tuk across the five continents of the globe in future.
But that is likely to be an even tougher challenge given that while driving home after his welcome home the tuk-tuk broke down again after two hundred metres.

As an avid travel photographer, I've had some experience, but I literally decided to take video this time around as we walked onto the train platform - no training, no tutorials, no concept. Nada.

Egypt govt says to replace tuk-tuks with minivans
(4 Dec 2019) LEAD IN:
Tuk-tuks have ruled the streets and narrow allies in Cairo for decades.
Now, the Egyptian government is seeking to replace the polluting three-wheeled vehicles with minivans.
STORY-LINE:
For two decades, motorized rickshaws known as tuk-tuks have ruled the streets of Cairo's slums.
Squeezing through dusty alleys, dodging trash bins and fruit stands, the makeshift cabs fight the city's chaos to haul millions of Egyptians home.
Now, the Egyptian government is taking its most ambitious stand yet against the polluting three-wheeled vehicles.
It plans to replace tuk-tuks with clean-running micro buses.
Replacing tuk-tuks with minivans means more civilized, secured and efficient means of transportation that the people need, says Khaled el-Qassim, the spokesman for Egypt's Ministry of Local
Development, which is spearheading the initiative.
The government blames tuk-tuks for contributing to congestion, air pollution, fatal car crashes and even terrorism, as it can't trace unlicensed vehicles.
The plan requires that drivers sell their tuk-tuks for scrap and take loans to buy new micro buses or risk fines, even prosecution.
I would be a thief who is forced to steal from people on the street says Ehab Sobhy, a tuk-tuk driver.
Sobhy, who is 47-year-old, earns 130 pounds, or $8, a day.
He says he wouldn't be able to afford the 90,000 pounds he estimates he needs for the new micro bus, even with a government loan.
The government of former President Hosni Mubarak tried to stem the tide of tuk-tuks, issuing scattered traffic guidelines and bans in most of Cairo's middle and upper-class neighbourhoods.
But Mubarak also allowed tuk-tuk parts to flow from South Asia to Egypt, where auto manufacturers legally assembled and sold the unlicensed vehicles.
It was a classic example of the state's contradictory approach toward the informal economy, which accounts for as much as 50-60% of Egypt's GDP.
They are trying to legalize the tuk-tuk situation as a result of its vast expansion in the last 10 - 12 years became a part of the actual and unofficial transportation system in Egypt, says Amr Adly, a Cairo-based political economy expert.
Last year, the government passed a traffic law requiring that all new buyers license their tuk-tuks.
In September, Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly announced a sweeping plan to phase out tuk-tuks in 20 governorates, swapping them for seven-seater gas-powered minivans.
But skeptics question the logic of changing a tuk-tuk prized for its tiny size, high maneuverability and cheap fare for a microbus that manufacturers expect to be four times the size and price.
There is a question mark on whether the minivan will be able to replace the tuk-tuk's ability and efficiency in Cairo's narrow allies or not, even if those minivans are small in size, adds Adly.
