Never ceases to amaze me what a great place Thailand is to live, They just live and let live, Do what you want when you want as long as you show respect everyone is always willing to help you, Well do you get the maximum use from your Pick Up because they do over here.

How would you move your Elephant, Don't tell me you'd put it in the Trunk.
Thailand at it's best what a wonderful place.

Love the pics, thanks for sharing!

yeah, and the girl on the motorcycle next to it is just looking the other way, like "the elephant in the truck to my right is no big deal"
 
Thanks for the pics! I wish I had an elephant I could transport in the back of my truck through Alexandria, KY. I can only imagine the faces of all of the people in the cars driving past!
 
I get it now, That's why they call it a tail gate ;)
 
I wonder what kind of emissions are produced by that elephant truck?

Until PETA called SWAT and had you pulled out at gunpoint then prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
 
Great shots! Thanks for sharing...they do similar stuff in India, but they don't have many full size pickups in india.

You would be surprised nobody really takes any notice as its a normal thing to do here, If you look at the Lady in front on the motorcycle she never even turned her head, They are Pick up mad they use them for everything and it doesn't matter how much weight they carry as long as the wheels aren't fouling on the arches.

If you look at the damage to the tailgate you can see where the Elephant had to push the pick up to get it going before he could get a ride.
 
I'm really only joking about the SWAT part but I'm certain you would be held on animal abuse charges.

Where i took that Photo the police station is just across the road, They would never bat an eyelid here over something like that it's different though if your riding a motorcycle without a helmet they would stop you and fine you about 2 dollars but only if your a foreigner, If your Thai or a permanent resident that's ok they wont stop you, How can they tell i hear you say, Your white and not brown!
 
That poor truck. I pretty certain that elephant exceeds the manufacturers recommended load rating. :D
 
Gravity must be a little lighter on that side of the planet.
 
@Geoff Cooper, these are my idea of fully using my truck. The second pic is over 13,000 pounds of brick, mortar and trailer. No idea how much the load in the first pic weighed but I believe it was more than the brick.
