It looks to me that he stop on the side of the road as there is a noodle shop across the road, being top heavy.:chitown:
It looks like he disengage the trailer from the truck as still on his wheels.:)

^ I know fcuk all about detaching a cab from a trailer but the cab never tipped. Also it tipped well off the road for no apparent reason. :confused:

A builders truck.

Did not get a pick but on Suk road at the Pattaya Nua intersection there is a black LH torana with a supercharge V8 sitting in a showroom.

Feel free to share any weird and unusual vehicle pics with or without their cargos you've seen in Thailand

Here's some of my unusual vehicle pictures snapped last month..

These that are being modified are for carting the chopped cane that is harvested by harvester. This photo shows trucks with both chopped cane and whole cane which is cut then picked up and loaded on to the units on the right of the photo.

Thy should think about installing outriggers on them.

How many points on his licence for that heap of siht (anagram) come next year?

If the LED lights are the only ones working, zero. If they don't work, still zero.

One has to have a licence for them to be attributed too.

Not a deliberate modification

The Durian dash. Overloaded pickup, swaying along the unlit highway to Bangkok, with no rear lights, in the outside lane, 1 metre behind the lead truck, with one working headlamp. What could go wrong.

Keep forgetting to post this but if there's a vehicle that belongs in this thread then it's defo this one:

https://teakdoor.com/images/smilies1/You_Rock_Emoticon.gif

https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2018/09/661.jpg

Completely and utterly bonkers... I love it! :D

And it was for sale up around here recently, a bargain at only B70,000! :rofl:

Looks like something from a Mad Max movie

I bet it would be a shit load of fun to drive. Scary, but fun.

If old mate was asking such stupid money for it I'd actually be tempted.


Edit: although I see it's no longer listed for sale so maybe someone actually brought it!

Drivin' into town..... in this.....

(apologies for reverse image I Phone selfie mode - it is R/H drive)

Great fun... 5 speed, 14 hp, 750cc single cylinder diesel, top cruising speed about 45 kph, maybe 50 at a push...

I assume this car has been modified to transport straw bales or rice.

Looks like it would fit the bill.

On the other hand, when the rocket and tail stick is fitted, it may win a prize at the annual rocket festival "up north".

Another alternative is a three layer immigrant transporter. Lay down in the bottom and on the back extension, sit on the next platform and stand on the next.

Driving back from Korat along Hwy24 and seen these. I have seen them before but never stopped this time I did.
Don't know what they are or what they are supposed to be but I do think they are "different".

Ootai I too past those vehicles today. I think they're made by a German who I met about 8-9 years ago whilst he was converting a Toyota pickup chassis in to a Bugatti. The unit he used was directly over the road from the PTT station in Nong Ki. But he lived further out towards Korat.

Have you ever ridden one? I did for one day and wouldn't consider it again. A bike makes one track, a car makes two tracks, a trike makes three, no matter how hard you try you're going too hit every pothole. .... just my experience
