Let’s talk Tuktuks and Space
Tuktuks are everywhere in Cambodia whether you’re in the city, countryside, or chilling by the beach. Tuktuks are also known as three-wheelers – are an affordable and super practical way to get around. It’s great for weaving through traffic or narrow village roads, and riding one just feels like part of the adventure. But here’s the thing: when it comes to luggage space, tuktuks aren’t exactly known for being roomy. If you’re traveling with more than a couple of bags or planning a longer trip, you might be asking yourself: “Is this going to fit?’’
That’s why we’ve put together this quick guide based on the actual measurements of Bajaj Maxima Tuktuks. So before you show up with a massive suitcase, this article will help you pack smart and ride easy.
The Rear Compartment – What Fits?
The Maxima Tuktuk has a small luggage area at the back, with a door that opens up to load your bags. It’s not huge, but it’s definitely useful.
Here’s what fits comfortably:
- Three medium-sized backpacks, or
- Two standard suitcases
If you’re carrying casual travel gear like backpacks, duffel bags, or soft suitcases, you should be fine. Hard-shell bags can work too. Just make sure they’re not massive.
Want to See It in Action?
We’ve made a quick video showing how much luggage fits in the tuktuk, so keep an eye out on our socials and website. It’ll give you a better idea of how things look in real life.
Dimensions at a glance
With a 90cm width, 28cm height, and 30cm depth, this gives you enough space for most travel bags. But it’s always a good idea to keep your packing lean and efficient, especially if you’re sharing the tuktuk with your partner or friends
Tip for Packing Smart
Since Space is limited, here are a few helpful tips:
- Use soft bags: They’re easier to squeeze and stack.
- Pack Light: Only bring what you actually need.
- Avoid big hard cases: Unless you’re sure it’ll fit.
- Share one large bag if you’re traveling as a couple.
Final Thoughts
Tuktuks might not come with huge trunks or extra storage compartments, but with smart packing and the right bag, you’ll be surprised how much you can fit in. The Bajaj Maxima is not built for hauling massive suitcases, but it’s built for fun and flexible travel.
So, even if you’re planning a week-long road trip around Cambodia, the Maxima is more capable than it looks. Just keep your luggage lean, your plans flexible, and your sense of adventure wide open.
