Yes I found them. Brings back memories of sitting in the traffic and watching all the motorcycles creep to the front of the pack.

Lol, olli, does he even know who Sid Vicious is? Great capture, I like this mini series, it's like a "Where's Waldo" sort of thing. I like how the telephoto compresses the scene at pic #2.

Cheers all and thanks for comments. ;)

TomThat's the life Tom in Bangkok, as you know. I made a quick estimation that I have spent an equivalent of about 200-300 work days (counted as eight hours per day) in the that traffic.

Those are some seriously colorful taxis... :)So easy to spot from the traffic, and not too expensive: starting fee is about 1 dollar. Also the taxi drivers are starting to speak some English as well. I had some very interesting discussions with them.

Lol, olli, does he even know who Sid Vicious is? Great capture, I like this mini series, it's like a "Where's Waldo" sort of thing. I like how the telephoto compresses the scene at pic #2.Probably not, Pio, such a young guy ... I do have one shot from this Bangkok trip which is really like the "Waldo" thing: tens if not hundreds of young school kids wearing same color of t-shirts ... have to post that as well. ;) 70-200 used for this shot.

So that's where he's been all these years! :lol: Nice shots! :-D

MikeShady fellows from Finland (me?) tend to vanish into Thailand ... maybe Sid did the same. :confused:

I like the juxtaposition of the 'feel free' and the hideous traffic :-)

Still in SE, and missing EE, and of course FI. One day I'll be back, but in the meantime, Santa is due here one day soon ;)

I just finished showing that to my wife. She reminded me that there are some colorful cabs in Jamaica as well, but these are... well... hot pink and such! lol

Very cool photos, especially the second.

:lol:

TJNo, 73 was amazingly empty. (I always wonder how well those ladies selling cheap tickets can balance themselves, when the drivers believe they are in F1 race.)
