Downtown Bangkok. Rush hour traffic. Filmed with a GoPro Hero amzn.to/2OtPXSf (AD) I came upon this traffic light. I'm not sure how long it was red before I got there, but it took about 7 minutes to change while I watched. I'll never complain about a slow light in the US again.
It's amazing that no one was killed - or at least knocked over. The motorcyclists and scooters are crazy!
Did you notice the two pedestrians at 1:00?

Too funny! This is like a video game to see who and how many bikes can get through the traffic without getting hit. They keep getting closer and closer and then a few risk takers sneak by and then all of the sudden all the bikes cross at once. Then the game starts over.

Der helle Wahnsinn . Aber ich kenne Bangkok, und würde da nie selber fahren wollen 🙂 Absolute madness. But I know Bangkok and I would never want to drive there myself 🙂 บ้าที่สุด ;-) แต่ฉันรู้จักกรุงเทพและไม่อยากขับรถไปที่นั่นด้วยตัวเอง 🙂

Here in "Ontario" , Canada we are a population as of 2016 of 14 million people, there are 36000 vehicle deaths for that year .Thailand is a population of 63.40 million and 24000 deaths (up or down) every year , the math says it is more dangerous to drive my native land of Ontario . Why do all the stats compare country and not per capita ? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_motor_vehicle_deaths_in_Thailand_by_year www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/publications/pdfs/preliminary-2016-orsar-selected-statistics.pdf search.yahoo.com/yhs/search?hspart=domaindev&hsimp=yhs-st_emea&p=population+of+Thailand+2016&type=dhm_A0H3C_set_bsf__alt__ddc_srch_searchpulse_net
