The Ubon Way



It's not so much a Thai thing as it is a Ubon thing.  Even in Bangkok there aren't as many motorcycles/motorbikes.  In Ubon, they're everywhere.  It'll be weird for me to be back on Ohio roads and not see these things flooding the streets.  Everyone seems to have one, they are really the only things that make sense here.  It's so hot most of the year, and they're cheap transportation.  Even if you have a family of 2+ it's no problem, people just pile on here.  It's quite a sight.  If you think that's crazy, you don't know the worst of it.  People even take the dogs places, it's quite hilarious to see that.  I laugh every time.
