Antonia and Jo drove their Tuk Tuk (auto rickshaw) from Bangkok Thailand to Brighton England.. 12.7k miles, 2 continents, 12 countries, and several landslides were driven over along the way
They broke the previous world record of 11,900 miles in a rickshaw... what is more amazing, that anyone ever had went from India to England, or that their record would be broken by a trip from Thailand?!?!?!?
