webfact Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 After the break, it's back to the grind By THE NATION Traffic slowly returned to Bangkok's streets on Thursday (January 2), after a quiet week, as city folks resumed their normal lifestyle after the New Year holidays. Some office staff were already back at work either in their personal cars or public transport, while parents were up early to take their kids to schools. Although the traffic on Thursday is not as bad as usual, as many are having an extended holiday and are yet to return, Bangkok is expected to return to its normal congestion only next week.

Cake Monster Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 There was very little sign that people were returning to work this morning in Bowin. I had to drive to Bowin from Pattaya early ( 7 am ) this morning. On both routes 3420 and 331 there was very little traffic, where usually both roads are really busy at this time of day with Factory workers racing to clock into their shift art 8 am. I guess the 7 deadly days are more likely to be 12 or so, as many have taken an extra 2 days ( Thurs ,Fri ) holiday. I would like to see the road kill figures published for the weekend, as many will be travelling those days to return to their jobs on monday.

Should be zero as those are not 'dangerous days'. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharecropper Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Seems a far cry from the scenes on Petchaburi Road on New Year's Eve, where usually traffic-clogged roads and jam-packed pavements instead looked like this. I love being in Bangkok at New Year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
