Silom on Qik
If you have not seen or used Qik, it’s definitely a great thing to experience. It’s a service that allows users to stream video in real time from their cell phones and receive comments and questions in real time. This makes it an ideal tool for mobile webcast interviews.
A fellow in Bangkok named Moui is using Qik to capture the world around him. His video, below, while not particularly stunning, gives a good sense of Bangkok’s personal transportation methods. The vehicles you see are mainly motorbikes, small pickup trucks and tuk-tuks.
These are all economic choices. motorbikes are rather affordable, compared to other choices and are more efficient than other vehicles. Pickup trucks, while using more gas, can be used as utility vehicles and can even be hired out to make extra money. Tuk-tuks are slightly more expensive than motorbikes, are light and thus use little gas and are often used as taxis or else very light-duty trucks.
Check out the video and let me know your thoughts and what you notice.
