By far the fastest way to get up and down the Chao Phraya River (main river in Bangkok) is in one of these bad boys. I have heard they are diesel engines but they don’t look big enough (to the computer guy) to be a diesel. Anyway they look like they are a normal 4 cylinder engine they have ripped out of something and bolted to the end of a boat. The reason why the boat is so long is they need the weight to cope with the weight of the motor and the output when these guys ‘put the peddle to the metal’. I am going to give this a go, apparently they are about 1000b for 1 hour. I’m guessing in 1 hour you can get to Burma.
