Windscreen stickers, Sawngthaew, Luang Prabang, Laos

A bit more roomy than a tuk tuk but just as ramshackle, Sawngthaew are the all purpose taxi of this part of the world. Other public transport includes a strange contraption built from what looks like half a tractor hooked onto the front of a wooden cart - a bit of a puzzle given that they don't seem to be able to travel faster than a walk, but I guess that fits with the relaxed pace of life in these parts.
