    Show us your commute to work.

    Thursday is a paticularly busy day for me with an early 2.00pm start.
    So bleary eyed, I set off on my 15 minute commute at 1.30 pm.

    I live in Amphur Sansai, some 12 kilometres from the City centre.
    This is my home and my bike.



    This is the view I have every time I drive off in the wee small hours of the mid afternoon.

    Just around the corner near the security gates live the rich people.
    they don't mix with us one story scum.
    How much do you think they are worth?



    I must say that they have done a nice job on this lake.
    Apart from me and my noisy bike, the village is quite peaceful.

    Now out into the lanes for around 2 or 3 kilometers.
    It's basically all paddy field and reclaimed paddy up here.



    There's a fishing lake thing here that I have never managed to catch a single fish in.
    Beer chang is 40 baht for a large bottle.



    This restaurant is excellent and is at the end of the lane before I hit the big ring road.
    It has very fond memories for me because this is where I watched Portugal beating England in the last World cup.

    Now out onto the ring road for about a kilometre before making a right turn towards the city.



    Take a right at these lights.
    They are nearly always red when I get to them so i usually enjoy a cigarette.

    Take a left and go behind the back of Carrefour.
    Here you will find the German micro brewery which has a large range of tasty beers.



    A good friend of mine opened a mini golf course here.
    Sadly the business was not a success to say the least and they closed around a year ago.
    The course is still there.
    18 crazy golf holes with a world them from 18 countries.




    yabooooo.




    there is also one of those cultural centres there, the ones where you eat on the floor and watch girls dancing traditionally.

    Now for the worst part.
    Only a short little u turn on the godawful superhighway.
    The place is a fucking mess and dangerous as hell.

    the outside of the super highway for around a kilometre on the Lamphun road and then a u-turn back towards chiang Mai around another kilometre.



    Look at the fuking state on these roadworks.
    the work on the super highway has been going on for as long as I've been here and is showing no sign of ending.

    I then turn off the superhighway and drive past the arcade bus station.
    this is the main station serving the city, around 5 kilometres from the city centre and about 2 kilometres from my work place.

    What sort of German snacks do they serve with the beer buffet?

    I have no idea what's going on with this building.
    It must have been closed for years.
    It was certainly closed when I arrived 5 years ago.
    anyone else know?



    A left turn onto one of the main drags into the city centre, heading towards the Ping River and just another 2 kilometres to go.



    Past Bud's ice cream.




    I often buy my lunch from these outdoor vendors.

    And finally into the car park....
    Usually takes around 12 minutes if I'm not stopping to take pictures.




    The view from my office.



    And signing in for a busy afternoon's work.

    I made the ones I wanted to be bigger...bigger by clicking on the normal size pic and making it grow.
    I actually didn't know i could do this.

    They hardly blow the screen at 800x600.

    Here's mine (highlighted in yellow left->right). As I mentioned to Herr Stroller in CM two weeks ago I must go through about 10 traffic lights (the red dots) just to go about 4 miles. So much regulation here it's ridiculous.

    You should probably jog.
    Anyway a green for you for actually showing your commute.

    Maybe tomorrow I can show you what it really looks like.

    Now that the rainy season has stopped I'll get my bike out and use that during the day.
