HEAVY TRAFFIC! a mini-video from BKK.

Hi, guys!
Found a small clip that I filmed in Bangkok on Sathorn Road June last year (-05), whilst on a daytrip to the capital to fix my video camera!

Nothing special just shows the heavy traffic during rush hour!

None of the shots last longer than a single traffic light cycle - big deal, cars waiting at lights...

I was in traffic like that going on for miles and miles after a Bangkok hash. The only problem was I had to get to the airport for my flight home. An anxious time!

Longest trip I ever had from the airport to Nana was 3 hours and 10 minutes. You should have seen it before the expressway was built!!!!

WOW???

I took 1:50 from Nana to Don Mueng Airport last month. I think June 13...just after the King's celebration "gala"!

They had closed the expressway, to the public...for VIP use only. (I think for just a few hours that day) Had to make it "easy", for visiting dignitaries to catch their rides...to "back home".

I thought that this was the WORST!

But...3:10
