traffic in Bangkok

January 12, 2009

taken from another traisha this picture illustrates the most annoying group of persons in ASIA, the traisha-drivers, they will always always always ask you if you need a taxi, they’re cheap and they would drive you anywhere you want, even routes like Bangkok-Bucharest are possible, at least they claim so…
