Super-Overloaded Pickup Truck in Thailand

Just a sample of what you can expect to see on the roads of Thailand; utter lunacy. This is certianly a big part of why there are so many terrible accidents on the roads of Thailand. This was shot less than an hour outside of Bangkok.

UPDATE: On Nov 23rd, 2011 the TV show "Mythbusters" actually used part of this video in one of their min-myth segments. I'm very grateful to that overloaded truck, now!!

Need to take into account that is a mini truck not an average sized truck lol so its not 6'

@wolf432: Yes, that's already been pointed out.. and I countered that at even 2 feet shorter, it's still WAY too tall, and barely making under the bridges and overpasses. But thanx for pointing it out again. :-)

@mrdan859: Actually.. we call it "Tea Money".. not a fine. An actual "fine" would have to be paid at the police station. (it rarely gets that far).

Ahem. ;-)
