The road trip proved to be very interesting. The site of what back home would be overloaded trucks, became the norm. The cargo was light, normally empty bottles. The vehicles were just lengthened with a long plank off the back.
The other interesting site was the trucks with 8 to 15 gas bottles behind the cab. It seems they are driving on a kind of LPG (gas). Reading on the Volvo web site they have trucks set up for gas and when the gas runs out the Diesel tank is used. Thailand has a good network already set up for these trucks.
There is so much fruit available in Thailand. We stopped at a road stall for a snack. Bought a large pineapple and the lady cut it up for us with a very sharp knife. 40 Baht. It was very juicy, delicious.
These folk live in this stalls, note the picture of the King on the wall.
