Back to the topic at hand... Thai people are generally friendly but they are some of the most aggressive, obnoxious drivers I have ever encountered.
I'm really not one to talk as I've been pulled over driving my Prius well above the speed limit on the freeway (yes, a prius
can go that fast!) but some of the absurdities I've seen driving around BKK confounds me.
Thais haven't figured out that some common courtesy actually makes traffic smoother and helps relive the stresses they experience when driving. Lax law enforcement will only ensure these absurd habits continue.
Putting a family of five on a motorbike with no helmets and using pickup trucks as school buses doesn't help, either.
