Thread: Bangkok Second Most Car Congested City In The World

Do you really mean that one has to live in a city before one may have knowledge of it ? I have lived in at least six different cities. Does this mean I know nothing about any of them ?

I acknowledge that driving a car in Bangkok is slow but what normal person who decide to do so unless there was no alternative ?

Not what I said at all. If you are not driving in Bangkok on a daily basis, how could you have an intimate relationship with its vehicle congestion. This thread is not about rapid transit in Bangkok, but rather its overall street congestion. Did you even read the article?

Once you have read the article and driven on Bangkok streets for at least a year or two, then get back to me.

I have been to Bangkok 8 times so I know everything about it
You can get a hotel near nana plaza and soi cowboy
So it is easy to get around bkk
It's a good job I am here with all this information,I know everything

I can readily accept that someone as slow on the uptake as you appear to be would need to experience Bangkok traffic for a year or two. Normal people suss it out in five minutes.

I live ground Zero Bangkok,

Because I do not work in this shit hole i can travel freely and off peak to everywhere i want to go to including the Airports.

The public transport options are brilliant and very very rarely do i need to use road travel of any sort.

To actually work in this mad house and need to commute daily by car I could not think of anything worse.

A massive Fuk that EH.

Different strokes for different blokes.

Love Bangkok by the way, never a dull moment and a plethora of different activities available everyday.

Now if ya gota work and drive in this fuked up City one will surly be insane at the end of it but to be free here is brilliant.

The smart money is to use the City as a base and travel in and out.

All good then.

Agree with everything you say Terry, but Bangkok is not my cup of tea, as I have already said. If I were the city type and decided to live in Bangkok, I would use the rapid transit. I have always driven wherever I have lived because I don't really enjoy relying on rapid transit.

So, if I were to live in Bangkok and drive a car most of the time, I am sure I would go crazy as you have already stated. Bottom line, I am not cut out to live in the city.

Bangkok Second Most Car Congested City In The World

Has to be fake news along with

CNN names Isaan as top world destination

One is either City or Country, myself loves the city but equally loves country.

Could never live country though as it would bore me shit less after a while.

We are all different and thank fok for that eh.

But concerning the traffic situation in BKK,

There is no doubt that it is one seriously fuked up situation and if ya need to drive here i recon one would lose years of ones life sitting in the fukin traffic jams which in turn would lead to suicide.

I used to fly upcountry, pick up a car, do a top road trip around ten days and then drop the rental car back at Don Muang Airport.

I've given that away and now, drop the car back to the nearest Airport and just fly back in.

So much easier and never any need to get anywhere near Bangkok's fucked up traffic.

TomTom seems to be a reputable company and why would they lie about their study results?

Yes, and I am more country. It still takes a trip out of the country every three months or so to keep my sanity. Much like your getaways from Bangkok.

It doesn't seem to be doing you much good.

Haha, I am fine. It is you that seems to "visit" places while under the impression that you know several cities intimately while not really knowing them at all.

Only noodles,gai yang and sticky rice downstairs from the Asia Hotel. It's a sex free zone. I just hope that there are no Chinese or American tourists spitting and shitting near the Skytrain station and I'll be well pleased.

We don't have to much trouble during rush hour i brought a second hand bus.
