With a population of 8.3m people, Bangkok is one of the largest cities in the world. As the city grew over time, public transportation faced enormous challenges, mainly coming from the city’s unique layout and many deadends in Naval areas, so-called Sois.
To connect even those neighborhoods which are hard to reach by conventional transportation, a group of sailors founded the first Motorbike Taxi Club in 1981. Ever since then, they have been part of the metropolitan public transportation system and have grown to a number of more 90k drivers nowadays.
This longterm project takes you on a journey with Bangkok’s Motorbike taxi drivers, portraying their everyday life out on the busy streets.

Help us to fund this photo book
Making a photo book is not a profitable business! At least that’s what people say.
Probably it’s on the other end, and many times the photographers take great financial risks to publish their work. Please support us by signing up for our early supporter list or pre-order the book directly. Your feedback will make the publishing process much easier for us. Thank you 😍
What will the book be like?
☑️ hardcover coffee table book
☑️ uncoated photo paper
☑️ more than 120 colored pages
☑️ editorial in English and Thai language
☑️ free bonus print for early supporters
Why should I support this project?
Primarily, because you like photography and appreciate high-quality coffee table books. But that shouldn’t be the only reason.
Creating a photo book like this takes a lot of time, passion and ultimately money. Most projects like these are non-profitable and many times the publisher/photographer even has to pay extra.
By supporting projects like ORANGE VESTS you help freelance photographers & artists to tell their story, produce food for thoughts, and draw attention to often overseen subjects.
Bonus material for early supporters
By supporting this project in an early stage, you will not only be an enabler but also receive bonus material from your pre-order.
You will receive a separate mail to confirm your again once the book is published. No credit card needed.
