Long-Tail Boat
A Thai long-tail boat, it has a long propeller shaft extending out the stern, hence the name. The engine is mounted on a gimble which gives it universal movement. It is all controlled by the forward pointing control shaft that has the accelerator control and with what the pilot steers the craft.
These are common throughout Thailand, but especially so in Bangkok. They are a very fast boat and quite enjoyable to ride in.
This was taken from a ferry on the Chao Phraya River Bangkok, Thailand.
