Learning Thai

Air conditioned taxis - Since we don't have a car we rely completely on public transportation. We use a combination of buses, song-taews (pickups with 2 benches in the back), motorcyle taxis, and, most convenient of all, the taxi. The buses are cheap (fares start at about 15 cents), but it's hard to beat the comfort and convenience of the taxi (and they're not outrageously expensive either). So when we travel we pick our mode of transportation based on a complicated formula that takes into account the cost, heat index, time factor, and our current level of patience. Claire has decided that we all must have our favorite taxi colors. For the record, she and Candice like the pink and purple taxis, I have the green and yellow, and Eliza was arbitrarily assigned the red and blue.
