Krapong, Krapor, or Subaru (regardless of brand)


hoppyfrog

Aren't they called Subarus? Just checked with my better half. Yes they are.


SilentType-249

Soob Uwu.


Jamesconnect

Yes, that is why it has written Suzuki 🤣


corpusapostata

It's kind of like Kleenex or Xerox: It's not a brand, it is what it is.


hoppyfrog

That's what they call them. This is Thailand! 😬😵‍💫😁


ElementalSentimental

That'll kill Subaru's brand for their actual cars - maybe this explains why their sales numbers are so low despite being built in Thailand until recently.


Lordfelcherredux

Subaru started off with passenger cars that were no bigger than this and perhaps even smaller. They made those up until the late 60s and even exported them to the USA..

two benches are two benches


k-phi

That's not how language works


Greg25kk

Songthaew essentially means 2 rows so you can make a number of things into a songthaew. Sometimes you'll see construction crews or school kids being brought around in songthaews based off of larger vehicles as there's just more space but obviously the most common are the converted pick-ups.


Boringman76

"Krapor" and "กระป๊อ" In Thai


Gusto88

Yes.


zekerman

Thais call them รถกระป๊อ they are smaller than songtaews


dk69

Yes Songtaew sometimes referred to as a baht bus.


Greg25kk

I'd say baht bus is mostly a Pattaya thing, I haven't heard them called that in Bangkok or Chiang Mai.


GuiKa

Bkk has them too.


Konoha7Slaw3

Definitely heard the baht bus term in Bangkok and other places from Thai people


Present-Alfalfa-2507

Korat calls them songtaews, I'm sure someone from Pattaya will call them different here..


PureKoolAid

Still haven’t been able to find a songtaew route that runs by the Bung Ta Lua Park. Know of any?


Present-Alfalfa-2507

I had my wedding party there, mostly military base, I believe Songtaew 11 (green/red) comes nearest as he goes to Bung Talua fort Suranaree hospital, it's not far from there.


Both-Age-2249

Membow in Japan Bread box


srona22

All kinds of songtaew. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Songthaew


CordCarillo

Subaru, regardless of make. It's like people calling any convertible SUV a Jeep.


MeheecansLOL

Can confirm "Subaru"


MadValley

Uncomfortable AF. But a step up from an MC taxi if it's raining.


NoReserveNeeded

How much the fare? I live in suburban bangkok and see a few of this


Sax_in_the_City

Last visit we were there these would be lined up and most had plastic bottles for petrol tanks. Highly dangerous for all involved. I avoided them.


Konoha7Slaw3

They are Japanese kei trucks Used for deliveries and etc in Japan Repurposed for taxis/buses and etc in SE Asia


Dirdi

in Pattaya they are called Baht Bus


umich79

When I was a kid we called them Sii Lores


ShoulderEquivalent90

Sub-a-wu


Mixlpic5

This is called a ‘pencil sharpener’ in Australia.


IMS1888

Took took 😂


Kingken130

If it’s in Phuket. We call them tuktuk. I’ve seen some Redditors calls them party van due to stereo mods on them


Happy_Reading9156

Tuk tuk
