Yay Thailand! I was caught off guard when I first saw Coke cans with Thai writing circulating here in DC. In celebration of the upcoming Olympics, Coca-Cola has distributed commemorative cans with logos from all over the world. You can see more by clicking on the Beijing 2008 link at their website.
I really like the design of the Thai page; it's fun and cute and I love the purple, but I do need to point out some discrepancies in the information on this page:
1. You could see fruits and veggies on a bike, but more likely on a truck bed. we're catching up with the world, and not as primitive as one might think =p
2. Actually, for those who don't take spicy food very well, I wouldn't suggest drinking coke since the bubbles can make the effect worse. try eating plain rice or having some kind of dairy product to neutralize the burning sensation in your mouth
3. One might see rickshaws, but not really in the city unless you're in touristy areas. I wonder if they mean tuk-tuks, which is basically a motorised 3 wheel, open air sister to the golf cart
4. Very upset about their inadvertant plug for elephants on the streets of BKK. This is animal cruelty at its worst, and to even mention it on their website promotes this horrible tourist-centric practice. Shame on Coca-Cola
5. I can't believe they left out the motorcycle taxi experience! Fastest way to get around BKK for sure (but not necessarily the safest)
