Not so unusual sights in Bangkok

One day as I was on the bus going home, I looked out the window to see a pickup truck full of sleeping guys. I carefully pulled out my camera, held it discreetly in the bottom corner of the window, and snapped a picture.

Then I proceeded to snap a second picture. OOPS!! CAUGHT!

If I wouldn't have been so embarrassed, it would have been fun to get yet a third picture of the guy grinning from ear to ear and shaking a friend or two to tell them what happened.

Sunday, on my way to church, the bus stopped in the middle of a busy intersection. Traffic had suddenly jammed up. We finally got up to the problem (see below). I believe there was a motorcycle involved in an accident in addition to the big truck and the taxi.

But no big deal; my bus driver cheerily called across to the guy in the truck regarding the accident. Then soon, someone (the taxi driver I presume) drove his smashed taxi out of the way so the bus could get through. People were standing around casually watching. Fortunately in this accident there appeared to be no blood. Just smashed or dented vehicles.
