2011, Day 297 - Treacherous

One of the most iconic modes of transportation in southeast Asia is the tuk tuk.  These precarious three wheeled taxis are everywhere and their gurgling whine can be heard in every metropolitan area.  This is a typical street in Chiang Mai but right now much of Thailand is covered in water.  The flooding there has been the worst they've seen in fifty years.  Please keep the Thai people in your thoughts and, if you can, give anything you can spare to one of the countless aid groups helping the people eke by until the waters recede.
