driving...always an adventure


One of the most popular transportation choices here is a sawng-taaw (I have no idea if you can even remotely guess the pronunciation from that phonetic spelling). It is a pickup truck with two bench seats in the back. We've also seen them with three bench seats for the school children. And we have motorcycles with a cart hooked on to it. There is one bench seat in the side cart. Yesterday was a first for us. We had our first double-decker pickup bed. Many people never notice these sights as it's just normal for them, but we're still new enough we still find it interesting. I'm sure there are American laws against this, but they don't apply here!
