Passengers getting on the water bus.
Sightseeing in Bangkok picture - Passengers get on the water bus at one of the stops. The conductor jumps onto the landing platform when the boat is still some distance away, then physically pulls the boat towards shore and ties it to the capstan. He releases the rope and jumps on when the boat is a foot or two away from the shore. Some nerve, that. This is repeated at each stop. And there are several of them!
