Sawatdee Pee Mai! Traffic woes as Thais return to Bangkok

It was a familiar story on the Thai roads last night as huge numbers of motorists made their way back to the Thai capital Bangkok after the new year holidays in the provinces. 

 

Daily News reported that the roads were jammed from early evening and the tailbacks were expected to last through the night. 

 

Their reporters went to the Asia Highway near Bang Pa-In where there was a ten kilometer tailback as drivers slowed to take turnings and fill up with gas. 

 

The situation was little better on route 304 in Prachinburi.

 

But at least the Kabinburi to Chachoengsao road was moving, albeit slowly.

I still can't understand why, with all the restrictions in place, they still allow people to drive all over Thailand.

My GF just called me. After travelling back from Buriram more than three hours, she turns and drives back to where she started.

When she came up with the idea to visit her familiy over new year, I told her, this would happen.

But why listen? "Farang ruu maak"
