Bangkok Traffic

Bangkok Traffic

Bangkok traffic is notoriously bad with many a snarl up on the roads. Having lived there for several years, I cannot help but think that traffic problems would not be so bad if there weren't so many taxis on the road. Another reason for long queues are the traffic lights which are often controlled by the police. They are never synchronised and often they stay green in one direction for many minutes. Yet another source of a jam is the stopping of all traffic to allow free passage of some important person such as royalty or the Prime Minister. One of the joys of living in Bangkok!
