If you remember elephant jokes you probably also know that what’s yellow and hangs from the ceiling is a yellow ceiling-hanger.
What’s red and hangs from the ceiling?
That’s right. It’s a red ceiling-hanger?
And what’s blue and hangs from the ceiling?
No. Ceiling-hangers only come in red and yellow.
And taxicabs only come in yellow in most cities.
But not in Bangkok. I was glancing out the hotel room window and saw this line of taxis waiting for a light to change. This is not the full range of taxi colors here. There are others, including chartreuse.

And in other news on the street,
I stepped out of the hotel’s front door and looked up. I assume these are telephone wires, but I am at a loss to explain why they are managed, if that’s the right word, in this fashion.

Those are a combination of electrical and telephone wires. This is how electric companies lay their wires around the cities in South East Asian countries.
