The man of Indian descent riding a Vespa through the crowds in Bangkok

As I walked through Bangkok's Chinatown, I came upon a crowded alleyway. Stores lined both sides of the busy street, and tourists and shoppers strolled about. I continued my stroll through the crowd.

As I walked, I noticed that not only shoppers and tourists were on the crowded streets. There were also many people delivering goods. Because the streets are narrow and crowded, the people delivering goods use scooters and motorcycles instead of trucks and other large vehicles. The man in the photo was also making a delivery on a scooter. He was riding a Vespa and carrying goods on a stand attached to the rear of the vehicle.

I don't know why, but I often see Vespas in Bangkok. The Vespa is a scooter made by an Italian company called Piaggio. The stylish Vespas is often used in movies, and Audrey Hepburn rode a Vespa in "Roman Holiday." The reason why we often see such Vespas in Bangkok may be because, like Japanese automobile manufacturers, Vespa has a factory in Thailand.

In any case, when I looked at the finished photo later, it was difficult to feel the atmosphere of Thailand, let alone that of Chinatown. The man on the Italian scooter was a burly man of Indian descent. There was nothing Chinatown or Thai about the photo.
