This touching image was captured by The Nation’s photographer Sukol Kerdnaimongkol, who was stuck in traffic himself at the mouth of Sukhumvit Soi 77.

That's him! The Indian passenger no taxi driver wanted in their cab

BANGKOK: -- Lumpini police have arrested an Indian man who they say was making a living conning taxi drivers out of money in the Nana area of Sukhumvit Road.
Several taxi drivers went to the station to make it plain- yes, that was him. Drivers said that he used the ruse of showing a fistful of dollars saying he had no Thai money, reported Thairath.
He would borrow Thai cash to pretend to buy things on journeys then later run off when it looked like he was going to exchange his dollars.
Aziz Abdul, 29, denied involvement but police have charged him. He was arrested in the Nana area of Sukhumvit on Wednesday.
Driver Seksan Phumeebun, 48, said that he picked up Abdul on August 1st near Central Chitlom and was asked to take him to the airport.
He drove off down towards Sukhumvit and when they got to the Nana area he asked to borrow 300 baht to buy something in 7/11.
He got back in then further down the road asked to borrow 1,500 baht to buy some medicine - he produced a fistful of dollars saying he had no Thai money.
Again he got back in but when the taxi was stopped at Soi 11 he opened the door and ran off.
Cabbie Pairot Khamket, 37, recounted a similar tale from back in February. He picked up Abdul from Soi 3 and was asked to go to Suvarnabhumi. When they got to Robinsons (Soi 19) he showed a handful of dollars and asked to borrow 1,000 baht to buy something.
He got back in then asked to get out at Terminal 21 to change his dollars at a booth. He didn't return again.
Pairot said that a group of taxi drivers on the Line application said that this had happened at least 20 times in the area.
Despite the Indian man's denials Lumpini police felt they had sufficient evidence and Abdul was prosecuted.
