Roger Federer is currently vacationing in Thailand with his family, and it appears the Swiss maestro is having the time of his life.

The 20-time Grand Slam champion previously shared a couple of photos of himself enjoying time in Thailand -- posing with a traditional bamboo hat, going for a leisurely gondola ride and more.

On Sunday, Federer gave another update for his fans, sharing a video of his Tuk-Tuk ride. The short clip also included a look at his parents Robert and Lynette, who rode the Tuk-Tuk behind the former World No. 1. Federer was in high spirits, beaming with joy on the ride and exulting loudly as the vehicle picked up speed.

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

"My parents were ashamed of me and told me that they would no longer accompany me to any tournament" - Roger Federer on his unsportsmanlike conduct during junior days

During an interview a few years ago, Roger Federer shed light on the kind of player he used to be in his younger days, revealing that he was not always the personification of calmness and grace that he became synonymous with later on.

On one occasion, Federer revealed, he was so self-critical and badly-behaved on the court that his parents were "ashamed" of him and told him that they would no longer be accompanying him to any tournaments.

Thankfully, the 20-time Grand Slam champion quickly saw the error of his ways and corrected himself. The former World No. 1 admitted that the change was a long process and that he needed help from a psychologist before he could find the right balance between his passion and sportsmanship.

"During a match, I constantly repeat myself to play point by point, to advance step by step. When I was a junior, I only criticized myself and with each exchange, I threw my racquet. My parents were ashamed of me and told me that they would no longer accompany me to any tournament," Roger Federer said.
"I saw how my family, my staff and my trainers looked at me and I felt that I could never again have this behavior on a court. I realized that I definitely had to change. It was a long process and I got help from a psychologist. It took me two years to find the perfect balance between passion and calm," he added.
