i came back from Kampong Cham a couple of years ago in a Khmer style minivan, 11 seats, 25 people, 2 babies, everyones luggage and a motorbike

Some Thai Facebook users commenting on the video said the men appeared to be migrant workers.

Quality tourists, actually. Thailand is experiencing a "surge in numbers". dontcha know?

Anyway, it's quite befitting of the Circus formerly known as Thailand.

This is a Thai variant of the lame joke about two taxicabs colliding in Aberdeen and thirty
Scotsmen being taken to hospital.

The most I've seen in one van was 23, including the babies, but there was also at least one chicken. Couldn't believe it when we stopped to pick up yet another bag of rice on the road out've town.

yeah i was in Kampong Cham for the Khmer New Year, so was pretty busy there was 4 of us and it was a nightmare trying to find a bus that wasnt already full (overflowing)
was an experience though, a little less comfy than when there was 8 of us in a Taxi from SHV > PP, there was 2 people sat in the drivers seat haha

I've been in those 5 times or so and I always swear it'll be the last. First time was heading down to Kampot before the road was paved. Got there after dark and totally covered in red dust. The other times were bringing a dirtbike to either Stung Treng or Koh Kong in order to avoid extra mileage on new tires. Fuck me, takes forever and despite intentionally paying a "premium" to get more space. Passenger to the left of the driver, myself sitting on one butt cheek the whole time, alternating. Later on I made it a point of not giving away extra space. Legs spread out, refusing to give more of my seat. Did the same in India, much to the dismay of other passengers. Actually the guys going to Stung Treng were alright so I kept their card. Fairly good time and after Kompong Thom it was fast.

Oh, and gotta love the "yeah we go now" line, followed by tying up the bike in the back and then waiting 1h for extra passengers... Every. Fucking. Time.
