Entertaining transportation in Thailand
Traveling is an art, an adventure that extends beyond the comfort of familiar paths and familiar faces. This story by Lieven takes you on a special journey to Thailand, a country of contrasts and surprises, where every experience, from a ride in an overloaded song-thaew to navigating the hectic streets of Bangkok, is a story in itself . It is these moments that enrich us, make us laugh, and sometimes even test our patience. But most of all, they remind us that travel is not always about reaching a destination, but about the journey itself and the stories we take with us.

It has been a few years since I emigrated to Thailand from the Netherlands. I then took my few possessions with me. Now, at almost 80, I want to ship specific items back to the Netherlands.

Many expats consider them moving coffins: the minibuses. There is a grain of truth in that because the Thai government also wants to get rid of it.
