Dear Traffic,....

Our feet on the ground cannot resist any more steps through the water. It takes 1 hour paddle from my house to main street when only 15 minutes drive while you are here.
Here are my messages to you…

Bangkok and traffic is the two best friends that make this city never sleep.
Traffic keeps the street’s darkzone bright.
Traffic is a common topic which everyone can talk about, also makes a good first topic to start your first conversation of the day with others.
Traffic creates business opportunity like “Fried Banana” at Nang Learng intersection and many more innovations like “handy dining table” or ‘standing comfort’ (comfort roi).
Traffic is a good life clock to get up at perfect time to avoid too many traffic during 8am-9am, the prime time.
Traffic has brought the new innovation to our country which is “BTS Sky Train”.
Traffic creates new challenges to people’s lifestyle such as how to draw eye liners while moving or how to give birth to people (The traffic police are now trained to help the moms whose babies are dying to born during the traffic).
Traffic allows us to see how talented motorcycle drivers are.
Traffic jam slow down city’s lives; to be able to notice small details around you, to see the city in another perspective or to catch handsome guy’s or beautiful girl’s face.
Traffic jam is a good personal karaoke.
Traffic jam helps you discover new routes and shortcuts.
You know how to plan ahead in order to reach the destination on time; directions, routes, estimated time (45 traffic drive equals 15 minutes normal drive).
Traffic keeps you alone in the car where it allows you to think and stay with yourself. Who knows cool idea may pop.

I wish these messages find you well. I hope and wait for things are back to normal stage because Bangkok and traffic are perfect chemistry. If not so, I might have to start getting to know boat, paddle, sand bags and water as my new buddies.



With Love,
P.P. at Bangkok
