"Overloaded Cars in Thailand"

The pick up is the most popular of all cars in Thailand. They double up as working vehicles and family transport, even with an extended family!

During many Thai festivals, you will often see overloaded pick ups with 10-20 people in the back along with some huge heavy barrels of water.

This especially true in the Thai new year when you are guaranteed to get wet. Sometimes it has to be seen to be believed.

Our record count is "21 people" in the pick up bed of a Toyota Hilux (what a car!). Can you beat that?

When you go travelling in Thailand, especially in the more rural areas, it is not uncommon to see pick ups stacked with loads as high as any truck you have ever seen.

If you have a pictures of Thailand that stirs a memory for you; send it to us by clicking this link and will publish it for all our readers to see!
