The "SONG TAEW"
(สองแถว)
can be found almost everywhere
in Thailand. The "SONG TAEW" acts like a taxi
delivering people and goods at whatever place but on a specific
journey agenda. The "SONG TAEW"
can often be found near universities, markets, and so on...
They travel on short distance and use roads not accessible by buses.

At rush hours, "SONG TAEW" are overcrowded with people standing outside and grabbing the bars in order not to fall. In the back, passagers can seat on two benches. On the ceiling, there is a button to press when a passenger wants to get off. The place near the driver is also a place for the passengers. The traveller pays when reaching the destination.

In a "SONG TAEW", a seat reallocation
can happen when a monk wants to have a seat. Women cannot seat
near a monk as they could touch him if the car brakes firmly.
Sometimes, some stool are set in the middle row.
