the “Long-tail” boat,
also known as Ruea Hang Yao ( in Thai) is a vessel
designed to carry passengers on shallow waterways
like the khlongs in Bangkok. The car or truck engine
is mounted in such a way (on a swivelling pole) which
allows the boat to be steered and the propeller to be
raised or lowered into the water according to the depth.
