Why no caravans?

[snottgoblin]

Back in Europe, see lots of caravans on the road. Never see them here. Are they illegal?

If not, is there a caravan dealership where one could purchase one?

In this heat I would imagine cooling would be an issue, and efficiently would not be a cheap one either.

I believe there is even a caravan club in Thailand

looking at this they seem a bit more upmarket than some of the ones I have seen in the UK

Wasn't one used on the set of the promotional films for Thailand (you know, those dodgy skin flick type of films).

If I recall correctly, it was Periwinkle Blue.

I quite like the idea of causing massive traffic jams as I hold up the traffic on the way to my destination.

no traffic jams at all, if you buy one of these

Ye Gods,Snotty,is it not bad enough on the road's already,imagine a Thai driver swerving in and out of traffic at 150km/hour with a caravan in tow,promise me you will never encourage them to take this up.

Infinite possibilities...6 inside the truck,15 on the back and another 10-15 inside the caravan...though an entire small village could have vacation at the same time....Songkran is coming...

Never seen one on the road, a few motor homes and a Hello Kitty motor home.

Do they have ones driven by buffalo??

there are caravans in Europe because they are great for keeping the heat inside and for hauling stuff (travel sustenance) over borders - there's not really a lot of borders one would want to cross with a caravan around Thailand, and regarding keeping the heat inside...

I believe the Dutch have refined their art to the point of being able to leave the Netherlands for about a month with their caravans without spending on anything abroad except gasoline and water.

There is also a law many non Dutch are aware of, that prevents them from coming home all at the same time, to save the dykes from breaking..
