So, as I've mentioned, the traffic here is just crazy. Traffic laws seem to be more like suggestions, motorbikes rule the roads (and sometimes the sidewalks) and traffic jams are a constant problem. I guess that's what you get in a city of 8 million people with next to no "urban planning".
Although big cities around the world have these same traffic issues, the Thai people have come up with a very unique solution to the problem of parking. Some of you may have read Sean's Facebook note on this subject - but now we have photographic proof! Check out this pic of Sean and his co-worker Angus along with a restaurant parking attendant, pushing a car that was double-parked in front of Angus'. This is a regular practice; once the parking lot is full people start double parking but leave their cars in neutral so that they can be pushed out of the way should someone want to leave. Talk about trusting your fellow citizens!
