TOUR BUSSES

In all of Thailand ~ but particularly here in Chiang Mai
the tourist trade is huge. At this time of year there are literally swarms of tourists from all
over the world being bussed around the country and around town.
The busses that carry them are large and gaily decorated and are really wonderful objects of 
commercial art worthy of notice.
They often travel in convoys of 3 or more busses and yesterday, while out doing
some errands, a convoy of 7 of these behemoths pulled up to a temple
and disgorged their passengers. It's not likely one might mistake 
which bus they were on unless one is blind or very inattentive.


Here are a few from my personal collection
