Bangkok Taxi Cockpit: a drive to distraction?

Written By: docreineger - Apr• 20•10

Why should a taxi driver watch the road, when he can "look TV" instead!

Check out the cockpit of the taxi meter I just took from Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok.  He’s got a morlam vcd player going all the time so he can watch TV while he drives (it was a neat Siriporn morlam live show, too). His visors are loaded with other VCDs so he can select others while on the road. Lots of Buddhist stuff on the dashboard, windows, even the headliner! Like many a Bangkok taxi, this one’s a mobile shrine and entertainment center on the move!
