Not too much of a story to this one.
Immediately when you arrive in Bangkok, you see the flamboyantly pastel-colored taxis. One night when returning from the Nest Bar on Soi 11, the street was at a dead stop going in both directions. And, along a few stretches, a good number of them were pink.
perfect in pink
Well, far from perfect:

But, I’ve stopped trying to figure out a lot of things in Bangkok.
No pink cadillacs but fuchsia cabs! Realy an original contribution for the theme.
I had to look up that reference. A curious parallel I never knew of. Thanks.
cool taxis
wow – who knew??? and cool photo of you in the midst of the cabs. 🙂
Thanks. Alcohol and a kilometer of taxis at a dead stop make for photo possibilities, I guess 🙂
Hard to miss a taxi when it’s that color!

I guess that’s one incentive for something so unconventionally colored.
