I'm mysified!

I regularly commute between Bangkok and Pattaya using the Bangkok/Chonburi motorway. Not a journey goes by without seeing a number of blue pickup trucks transporting pineapples from the direction of Pattaya to Bangkok. Nothing strange about that, but on the journey from Bangkok to Pattaya, I often see the same or similar blue pickups transporting pineapples back to Pattaya. Now why would pineapples be taken back to the region where they have been grown?

Your suggestions please.

Past their sell by date?

I suggest you take a different road--seems you need a change of scenery!

Actually, no idea why, but if you find out, post it please.

You should pay more attention to the road and less to what the vehicles are carrying.

There's a conspiracy going on. I'm sure about it! I can even smell it!

I think this is a good question! I don't know the answer though but i'll hazard a guess. Were they shipping Chonburi pinapples to Bangkok & Phuket pinapples to Pattaya?

Phuket pinapples are a much brighter yellow/orange colour than their Chonburi/Rayong counterparts. To Taste they are sweeter and probably have the edge on taste.

I once saw Phuket pinapples being shipped by road from Trat to Bangkok, now what's all that about!?

Sav

Maybe the pineapples have been hollowed out and are actually full of Yaa Baa..........?

it is only mysterious if the pick-ups don't exhaust black fumes and make an average of more than 40 kmph

Hmm...maybe they didn't find a customer in BKK and took them home again

To be serious....it's trading...trading...trading....(I suppose)

1 very large company sells millions to BKK; than the smaller buyers buy them in BKK and go with smaller quantities to local markets.
