Sirens are wailing. Street sounds are zinging past. A busy Friday night is kicking into action in one of Asia's booming capitals - Bangkok. There, anything can happen. However, what teenager Kaewjai, karaoke manager Supaporn, 32, and grocer Somchai, 43, do is just beyond anybody's imagination.
On alternate days of the week, they set out in their pickup trucks after regular work or school to become the 'body snatchers of Bangkok'.
As volunteers for charities, they collect injured victims and corpses around the city, where roughly two million car accidents are recorded each year but only 10 advanced life-support ambulances are available every day.
'I feel pity for [the victims]. Why must they face this situation?' asked Kaewjai.
Maybe Kaewjai is brave. Maybe she is too young to be scared. But Somchai is afraid because he understands the unpredictability of life.
'Those who are not afraid may be afraid if they see the real death situations some day,' he said.
In fact, his partner Supaporn is also terrified of ghosts. She has learned to stay sane, with laughter being her best medicine.
