22 JANUARY 2019 - PHRA PRADAENG, SAMUT PRAKAN, THAILAND: A worker drops the ramp on a motorcycle and vehicle ferry that crosses the Chao Phraya River in Phra Pradaeng, in the suburbs south of Bangkok. The use of vehicle ferries across the river has gone down as the government has built bridges to connect communities on both sides of the river. The Phra Pradaeng ferries are the busiest vehicle ferries in the Bangkok metropolitan area. Since the BTS Skytrain now comes close to the ferry, the number of commuters going into Bangkok that use the ferry has increased. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
