Roger Federer and his family are seemingly having the time of their lives in Thailand, and the Swiss star recently gave fans a peek at their activities there.

The retired Swiss legend, currently holidaying in Thailand, first shared a four-part photo series of himself reveling in everything the country has to offer. He was seen riding the gondola, sporting a traditional bamboo hat, and even enjoying a plate of mango sticky rice, a popular South-Asian dessert.

Earlier today, Federer shared a short clip of him riding in a Tuk-Tuk. He was followed closely by his parents Robert and Lynette, who were in another Tuk-Tuk.

The three of them looked thrilled as they sped through the busy streets of Thailand.

"Fast and Furious: Tuk-Tuk edition," Federer captioned the video.

Indian Bollywood star Deepika Padukone reacted to the video shared by Federer on Instagram. She had nice words in particular for his father, Robert, whom she described as her "favorite."

"My Favourite Uncle Robert!" she wrote.

Roger Federer donned the Indian Aces jersey for the inaugural edition of the International Premier Tennis League, the brainchild of legendary Indian tennis doubles professional Mahesh Bhupathi.

He teamed up alongside Pete Sampras, Gael Monfils, Fabrice Santoro, Ana Ivanovic, and Indian stars Sania Mirza and Rohan Bopanna.

While Federer did not play the entire tournament, he featured in the UAE and Indian legs and helped the Aces clinch the trophy.

Federer played a couple of singles rubbers, most famously against arch-rival Novak Djokovic, who was playing for the UAE Royals. Federer clinched that match 6-5.

He also featured alongside Sania Mirza in a doubles encounter against Bruno Soares and Daniela Hantuchova, whom they comfortably outclassed 6-0.
