schondie Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 I wish I had videoed a man on the back of a motorcycle taxi in Trang, he was carrying a wheelchair and a bag of golf clubs. I've seen the full gamut of oversized things, like full length mirrors and panes of glass on the back of motorcycles, but the wheelchair and golf clubs was the weirdest combination I could imagine.

hellodolly Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 In Cambodia I saw a pick up truck with all the household furnishings and what not stacked about 7 feet high with the family sitting on top. Also other one where one of the members had to ride on the hood as there was no room for him in the back. A motorbike with two little piglets on their back strapped to the back of it. Yes indeed driving around Thailand and Cambodia it is nice to have a camera handy, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LingLek Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 This sort of stuff would be condescending in a 1930s colonial official or just naive in some hayseed from Europe. At least learn to spell 'piggy' in future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ducio Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Highway 11 I think - windy stretch for sure. Direction Chiang Mai - Udon Thani. Dusk. Pass a sign that says '"accident" ahead'. Slow down some. Hmmm... cannot see any signs of an accident here.... Hey but whats this? Hit the brakes! A wooden bridge? Crossing over a totally destroyed boulder like stretch of road surface. Ok. But wait! The bridge itself is broken - cracked in two straight down the middle! Wheres the accident? Well, that would be you buddy! If Cross the bridge to the wrong side of the road. Fortunately everyone drives at a sensible speed when traveressing these 'windy as hell' roads so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post PETERTHEEATER Posted July 2, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted July 2, 2013 A few years ago I stopped in the centre lane of the main crossroads in Khon Khen waiting at a red light. I was aware of a motor cycle drawing alongside my driver door and turned my head. It was a motor scooter with a young man driving. He was staring straight ahead but standing in the footwell with it's hooves on the handlebars was a pig wearing sun glasses. As I gaped, the pig turned it's head and looked at me with that piggy smile then back to looking forward as the light went to green and we gunned forward! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connda Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Nice effort to put it together ... but, have to say ... remarkably unremarkable. . Agreed. It might be worth putting on your Facebook page for the folks back home, but for TV expats, it's old hat. I've seen a lot stranger than that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anon210 Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Nothing very new compared to what I have seen. I saw once a pickup with dead pigs loaded in the bed. I even saw trucks with live cows on board. Not to talk of several other curiosities - sugar cane trucks are also often present in Kanchanaburi province. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
