Another long-tailed boat. Note the car engine on the drive shaft that also operates as a ruder.
We took about an hour boat ride on the Choa Phraya River and canals on a long-tailed boat. Very interesting watercraft. Essentially a car engine on a stick. Lots of boat traffic on the river generating lots of chop.
