ACCUMULATING PERIPHERALS

It’s a little hard to see in this blown-up detail of an iPhone shot, but these icons show you what’s off-limits in a Bangkok airport taxi.

Bangkok cab no-nos

For reference, that’s:

• smoking
• durian (world’s smelliest fruit)
• drinking alcohol
• pets
• having sex
• firearms
• livestock

On the “cultural similarities” index, the “having sex” icon represents the missionary position. On the other hand, I think the differentiation between “pets” and “livestock” would probably be unnecessary in an American cab.
