1 | Thailand: Unique Taxi Decorations in Bangkok | Thailandy: Fomba Miavaka Manokana Fandravahana Fiarakaretsaka Ao Bangkok |
2 | This blog is dedicated to the friendly, patient, somtum-eating, talisman-worshipping taxi drivers of Bangkok. | Ity bilaogy ity dia nafantoka amin'ireo mpamily fiarakaretsaka mahafinaritra, manam-paharetana, mpihinana somtum, mpandàla ny resaka talismans ao Bangkok. |
3 | Created four years ago, the blog Still Life in Moving Vehicles has been featuring a variety of interesting photos of Bangkok taxi cab decorations. | Noforonina efatra taona lasa izay, ny bilaogy Still Life in Moving Vehicles dia nanasongadina karazan-tsary samihafa mahasondriana amin'ny fanaingoana ireo fiarakaretsaka ao Bangkok. |
4 | Dale Konstanz, who started compiling the photos more than five years ago, cites his inspiration for the online project | Dale Konstanz, izay nanomboka nanangona ireny sary ireny efa ho taona dimy mahery izao, dia mitantara ny aingam-panahy nanosika azy hanao ilay tetikasa anaty aterineto. |
5 | I started taking photos inside Bangkok taxis almost 5 years ago and shortly thereafter a writer friend suggested that I start a blog as a way to archive my photographs and as a method to document my experiences in the cabs. | Tany anaty fiarakaretska tao Bangkok no nanombohako naka sary dimy taona lasa eo ho eo izay ary fotoana fohy taorian'izay, namana iray mpanoratra no nanolo-kevitra ahy mba hanomboka bilaogy hitahirizana ny sariko sy ho toy ny fomba iray handraketana ny zavatra iainako any anatin'ireny fiarakaretsaka ireny. |
6 | Also, I thought it would be a good way to share my observations of Thai culture with friends and family, as well as other enthusiasts of Thai popular culture. | Ary koa, Noheveriko koa fa ho tsara iray izany mba hozarako ny fomba fijeriko ny kolontsaina Thaïe miaraka amin'ireo namana sy fianakaviana, hatramin'ireo hafa izay mpankafy ny kolontsaina Thaïe malaza. |

10 | Then, I get back into a taxi and head for home. | Avy eo indray, miverina mandray fiarakaretsaka indray ary mitodi-doha mody. |

12 | Sounds boring? | Sahala amin'ny hoe mankaleo ve? |
13 | Not if you're taking taxis in Bangkok. | Tsia raha toa ianao mandeha fiarakaretsaka ao Bangkok |
14 | For me, it's not so much about the view outside. | Ho ahy, tsy dia ny zavatra hita ety ivelany loatra. |
15 | It's more about what's inside the taxis in Bangkok; the menagerie of gods, goddesses, deities, and monk statuettes, flowers, and other trinkets chosen for their ability to protect the driver and the car, and to assure that the driver has ample passengers. | Fa ny misy ao anatin'ny fiarakaretsaka ao Bangkok indrindra indrindra ; tokantranon'ireo andriamani-dahy, andriamani-bavy, ireo olo-masina , sy sarivonganà ‘moines', voninkazo sy karazan-javatra hafa heverina ho mitondra soa nofinidy noho ny fahafahan'izy ireny miaro ilay mpamily sy ny fiara, ary hiantohana ny hahazoan'ilay mpamily mpandeha marobe, Toa ahy |
