Inside the van, we were quietly settled feeling the cool soothing air after those looong tiring walk plus the double dealers. Bye -bye Ratchaburi.
It's nearly 12 noon and the van would leave for Victory Monument. One,two,three passengers were coming at a time. I was supposed to close my eyes when I spotted a mother and her baby. They were the last passengers and were heavily loaded. The husband was dealing with the driver. From my seat I overheard their conversation.
This was what transpired during the conversation:
Husband: My wife and my baby are bound to Victory Monument and this is their luggage.Where shall I put this?
Driver: At the back but you have to pay.
Husband: But why? We could just put the luggage at the back compartment.
Driver: It could be but still you have to pay 100Baht same as the passenger's fare.
Husband: That is a dead thing! How come you charge the same,50 Baht ,O.k!?
The husband finished the conversation by slamming the door after putting the luggage at the front seat then left.
We left silent but the driver's still unease with the luggage beside him. After a ten -minute drive of pondering , he stopped and put the luggage down away from its throne. Lol! I took a photo but it was too late for it took me a minute to dig for camera inside my stuff. The luggage was already away from its throne.
