Things that are against the rules in a cab in Bangkok

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.

I thought the fifth was “no strangling.”

Pingback by No firearms in my cab « Disruptivism November 15, 2010 @ 6:45 pmI think we need more “No durian fruit” signs everywhere. In the spirit of trying something new, I purchased with some friends some durian fruit creme wafers from a local Asian/Hispanic grocery store. While driving home a friend in the back seat opened the package. Luckily my window was down and there were no other cars around me because I immediately vomited.
IMO, I have an iron stomach. I never knew such a vile smell could exist.
