Pattaya traffic is nuts

Featured Replies

Wanted to drive 4 km to Central Mall yesterday. Took an hour before I was parked. Followed GPS for best route, took me through the back streets from Thepasit. And this is low season and a weekday.

What's going on?

it's a looooong 'weekend' the Bangkok Thais make their traditional pilgramage

to the shopping malls of Pattaya and revel in recreating the gridlock of 'Grungthep'

that they are accustomed to.

No need to include the word traffic in the headline. 😄

Don't live there, just visiting. Happy to have it nearby for occasional visits.

Always the same for holidays, use a motorbike

Visit only when there are no holidays and no weekends.

It was a Wednesday. I'm not part of the Thai workforce so don't really focus on work holidays. The Thais are constantly having days off.
