My favorite Bangkok traffic anecdote from time with the Peace Corps in Thailand: due to poor planning, I traveled from Surin to Bangkok on a major Thai holiday (Loy Gratong). It took about 6 hours on a bus to transit the ~500km from my home to the north bus terminal in Bangkok. Due to the extra holiday traffic, it took another 4 hours to transit the ~10km across Bangkok to my final destination.
I have heard reports of parents taking sleeping children into the car for the school run, getting them dressed in the traffic jams so they get to school too...
Really sorry you won't be able to make it to Australia. Perhaps you could release more videos instead? :)

"Goodness the traffic there." Indeed.

Great time lapse!
Hey Danny,
ReplyDeleteQuite a tale and I'm not surprised.
