Thai hill tribe locals rope in ‘human counterweights’ for trucks on steep roads

Social media users have been left puzzled and amused by a unique sight on the roads of Phu Tab Berk, Phetchabun. They observed a woman perched on the bonnet of a pickup truck fully loaded with vegetables as it navigated steep slopes. The reports emerged on today through a TikTok user, who posted a video of the rather unusual scene.

 

What caught the attention of users was the accompanying soundtrack – the iconic hit ‘My Heart Will Go On’ from the film Titanic.

 

The caption rather humorously read, “Never saw sitting like this before. I like it very much. It’s cool. Phu Tab Berk.”

Probably filled the passenger seat with them and kicked the missus out.

Why not put more vegetables on the front simples!

Maybe these guys could learn about overloading.
