Thailand Transport
|
|
In India I saw so many instances of motorbikes being used
to haul all sorts of cargo, that I couldn't understand why there was
virtually no use of trailers or sidecars.
Currently my only working theory is that the crush of traffic, the sheer volume of vehicles out on the streets and the ruthlessness with which advantages are negotiated, that the need to be nimble and flexible preempts the occasional convenience of those extra features |

But in Thailand, I began to see them used quite often |
|
|
Very commonly to support a mobile business |
|
|
|
|
And I was still seeing quite an array of human-powered vehicles |

And variations on public transport vehicles This is a songteow, which is seats and canopy mounted on a pickup truck |
