This is one of the tuk-tuk drivers that is stationed outside my apartment-- and his pet goat. Recently, however, the goat has mysteriously disappeared and I fear for its whereabouts.
Apparently, if you are blind in Bangkok, your only recourse is to buy a machine that pumps backing tracks and walk around singing to it, in exchange for donations. This guy is working the weekend market.
Alternatively, if you are blind or disabled in Bangkok (Cambodia too) you can start a band and rock out with a bunch of like-situationed individuals. As pictured on the streets during a celebration for the King's birthday. Note the yellow shirts; representing the monarchy. People sport them all the time, especially on Monday cuz the King was born on monday.
I think Flava Flav is doing a stint as Mr. Thailand.
Also on the King's birthday, there was a huge outdoor concert pumping bad-ass Thai songs that resembled dancehall/dub style. The boys were pulling some crazy moves, a mix of classic Thai dance and dancehall. Thai Granny came along and taught me some moves.
