Taxi Window Coverings

The sun in Thailand can be extremely hot, especially at this time of year, so it's a good thing that some Bangkok taxi drivers plaster their windows with decals and other coverings to shield their passengers and themselves from the intense rays. Some organizations and businesses, including hotels, distribute free decals to cabbies as marketing tools. Other drivers purchase their own complete with images of cartoon characters such as Garfield. For those cabbies without any window coverings at all who are desperate to protect themselves from the harsh sun, a brochure or flyer from the newspaper will suffice.
