One thing many westerners ask when they first come to Thailand is “Why is Bangkok traffic so bad?”. After all, Bangkok has some of the worst traffic jams in the world. So, I thought this was funny — a photograph that’s been shared on Twitter and Facebook by boatloads of Thais who are, it seems, quite as outraged as westerners by what’s going on in it.
The photo is of a typical Thai traffic jam. But, at the front of the line, is what is causing the jam. A long line of buses that are illegally pulling across four lanes of traffic to pull into a bus stop, thus blocking all the traffic behind them as can be evidenced by the clear road in front of them. As someone who has lived in Bangkok for a decade, I can tell you – this is normal
