taxi ride in Bangkok

it was raining day in downtown bangkok and i was stuck in the massive crown of people who are busy with their own daily life. Not knowing well about the city and was look for a cab or just a tut tut…

then there was this taxi who came by and he manage to stop and i got in.

First impression when i get in was it calm and i never hear any sound….

the driver ask where to go…i told him to go Airport. While on the way i saw this cute tissue box at the back seat. It catches my attention..it was attached to the seat of the front drivers back. The tissue box was covered with directory information like yellow pages book. detail of contacts and website address was printed on the box.  creative way to get customers attention. bright color with message. I believe they have this tissue box in all the taxis in Bangkok. Wonder when Malaysian cabs will have this concept…..
