Hmm, the traffic didn’t seem that bad to me, but we weren’t actually on the streets very much (we were on the river more). The traffic seemed about as bad as it is during rush hour in San Francisco. I’ve seen traffic on the freeways in Los Angeles be far worse during rush hour, too.

It did seem like it was trafficy all the time, though… maybe their ‘rush hour’ last all day.

That’s very far from scientific reporting for you, but maybe it’s helpful.

Thanks for the reporting.

I’m interested in a fresh eyes report on traffic in Bangkok.

I’ve read in several accounts that traffic is terrible all day, with many babies born in vehicles on the roads every week, because the vehicles can’t get to the hospital in time.

Did it seem like that level of crazy?

You got into The Oriental afterall! Excellent! Oh, I remember the bad air in Bangkok. After a few days I was SO ready for going to the islands. Can’t wait to hear more… thanks for the updates!

Sorry, couldn’t resist…
