Roger Federer's social media post featuring his 'Tuk-Tuk' ride in Thailand with his parents has sent fans into a frenzy.

Federer, who has hasn't been seen in public too often since retiring from tennis, recently posted a series of pictures from his vacation in Thailand. He was seen sporting the traditional Thai bamboo hat, taking a casual ride on the gondolas, and feasting on the famous traditional Southeast Asian dessert of mango sticky rice in the pictures.

In his latest post, the 20-time Grand Slam winner was seen riding a 'Tuk-Tuk' in Thailand. Tuk-Tuks, once a popular choice among tourists for navigating the streets of Thailand's capital Bangkok, have now been overshadowed by modern transportation options.

Instagram users couldn't resist gushing over Federer's post, with the ATP Tour's official handle chiming in:

"Roger, you're out here with icon behaviour yet again."
"This has basically just become Roger Federer travel account and I'm very pleased with it," another fan wrote.
"Let's goo and visit Bali & Labuan Bajo at Indonesia please Roger," one account posted.

"Take them as long as you can! They are the best!!" a fan wrote.
"Roger, wait for me and I will take you around Bangkok!" another chimed in.

Roger Federer on retirement: "I didn’t have any plans and then all of a sudden I realised that was it"

Roger Federer has made it clear that he has no plans of making a comeback to competitive tennis.

After a string of problems with his knee, the Swiss maestro hung up his racquet at the end of 2022. He has, however, made a few appearances courtside since then.

"I didn’t have any plans per se as I was always trying to come back and then all of a sudden I realised that was it," Federer told the media in an interview in 2023.
"I have to be careful I don’t do too many things but at the same time, I'm really happy to be busy. I like being with other people, love being with my family, I love to travel. But I guess sometimes you just have to make sure to find the right balance and I feel like I have that, so it's great," he added.

Federer said that his knee problem prevented him from even contemplating a comeback from retirement.

"When you know the knee doesn’t allow you to play at this level, the mind doesn’t even go there that I could be on court right now. So you just enjoy tennis for what it is, and I follow results almost daily, I like to see what is going on out there," he said.
