Tiny taxi carries 7 + driver

These tiny taxi trucks are used in medium-sized "sois" in Bangkok to ferry passengers to and from the main road. Six passengers cram into the back, with an additional (lucky) passenger, with short enough legs, riding shotgun with the driver.
They are known locally (at least where I live) as "bok bok" taxis, an onomatopoeic name derived from the sound of a coin tapping on the frame of the truck to indicate that a passenger wanted out. Now a wired buzzer is fitted.
