No Hand Carts


Just a quick post, something to show the different styles and pace of life. We are used to not being able to ride Scooters or Tractors on the motorway. We’ve all seen the signs just before the last exit before a motorway.
This one on the entry to an Express Way in Bangkok made me laugh, they seem to be more concerned about small mopeds (Chicken Chasers), Tuk Tuk’s, they should be banned off the road full stop. Bicycles which is obvious, lastly however they advise people who sell food from Hand Push Carts not to venture on the Express Way, The thing is if these signs weren’t here, the Vendors would be on the 80mph road selling their wears, and believe it or not drivers would stop to buy them. Maybe the Thai's way of doing things is correct and food stands on the hard shoulder are the future! Probaly cheaper and better tasting than any Motorway Service Station.
