Professional Traffic Bangkok

Bangkok traffic handling, very professional. During peak hours, many parts of roads will be so jammed up. The traffic police in this amazing city of angles have their own very amusing ways to solve the traffic lock ups.

It normally takes me 20 minutes to successfully make a u-turn in the heavy evening traffic back home. The queues of cars are long as each inch daringly with balls of steel into the oncoming traffic the other side of road. This particular u-turn causes massive traffic built up all the time. And the police came up with a very good idea that eliminated the jam. With their professional planning derived from their excellent clever brains, they barricaded this u-turn during the peak hours. With three of them there waving the traffic on, we each drove angrily by.

So the next u-turn is down the road and all cars had to make their turns there. Well, since the u-turn there then caused a massive build up next, the police then with their professional planning derived from their excellent clever brains, barricaded that u-turn during the peak hours. With three of them there waving the traffic on, we each drove angrily by.

So we had to go further down to the traffic junction and turn right to an alternative route. And since that right turn then caused a massive build up next, the police then with their professional planning derived from their excellent clever brains, barricaded the right turn during the peak hours. With three of them there waving the traffic on, we each drove angrily by.

So we can only go straight on to the next junction to make a left to an alternative route that can bring us back to the first u-turn point which was where we originally wanted to be in the first place after going on for an extra 5 kilometers that took close to 30 minutes burning our precious fuel contributing to global carbon built up which Thailand don’t give a dam about since the politicians are happy making money from fuel taxes and such so that they have extra pocket money to go for their weekly massage escapades. But since that left turn then caused a massive build up next, the police then with their professional planning derived from their excellent clever brains, barricaded the left turn during the peak hours. With three of them there waving the traffic on, we each drove fumingly by.

And so… we all want to drive our cars into the policemen who barricade the junctions, the peaks hours of the evening we want to go home. We want to ram them down and have their big balls cut off, and squeeze them tightly into their ears, into their so empty brain cavity until the brain juice leak from their nose. Oh Bangkok, you are so darn amazing.
