first impressions

[HermesHermes]

Arrived this Friday Nov. 30 night just before 10 p.m.

 

* driver on government bus from Ekkamai was cranky

 

1. No songthaews waiting at northern bus station to take passengers into town at flat rate. None at all actually.

 

2. Crosswalk light broken

 

3. WC at Makro open at 10:05 (not for long)

 

4. Macro urinal malfunctioning in two regards

 

5. No freelance taxis running towards town

 

6. Air is better than in Bangkok

 

7. Feels cooler too

 

So climate is superior but transportation is inferior.

8. None of the motorcycle taxis (guys in orange vests) have spare helmets. Some don't even have their own.

10pm Friday, the taxi drivers were likely all down on beach road taking customers away from the fireworks.

There were thousands on the beach for fireworks so not surprising you had transport issues

When travelling, you never arrive at a new place at 10pm in the evening. Just asking for trouble.

Hardly a fair time to make comparisons, there was the annual Fireworks Event going on, many roads closed and public transport not on a normal footing. I bet traffic still moved better than in Bangkok though!
