People on songthaew — Shot in Bangkok, Thailand

In Bangkok, there were many bus-like trucks parked on the side of the road. It seemed to be a depot for buses. This pickup truck was one of the buses parked there. There were already people on the back of the bus and I could see the large bags that the passengers had brought with them. They were ready to go. But the engine of the songthaew was still cold, and it didn't look like it was going to start anytime soon. The passengers were quietly sitting on the back of the truck, waiting for the departure time to come.

When I stopped in front of the luggage carrier, all the people on board looked at me at once. In the middle sat a boy in a football shirt, surrounded by older women. I also saw hats in the back of the truck. It was a hat made of woven rattan. I rarely see people wearing this kind of hat when I walk around Bangkok. They look like the kind of hats worn by farmers in the countryside. I may be prejudiced, though. I guess these people are on their way to a rural area in the suburbs on a songthaew. The hat in the back had a small "OK" written on it.
