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?Sounds like another average day to me. I won't try drive anywhere in the afternoon or early evening. Especially Fridays and Sundays. I get all my stuff done in the morning and then park it. That is on a scooter. 10x worse on a car.

July 30Jul 30 The problem is that there is only one small road into Central Pattaya, (from the South) 2nd road, and that is always subject to road works (for the past 15 years). Traffic will always be bad and will get worse as they build thousands more condos along 2nd road. Grand Solaire alone is 2500 units.

At least you could drive around Udon from 1000 - 1430 without no issue, and nice to pop in for a munch or take care of business.
July 31Jul 31 DOH! They said weeks ago that they will be doing road work on Second Road. Stop complaining.

August 1Aug 1 Traffic in Pattaya is nuts without any Thai Holiday anyway. At least compared to 15 or 20 years ago. What you experienced then on the absolute top of high season, is now the traffic you have in the deepest low season. Then the state of the roads. Potholes everywhere, probably the badest roads in Thailand. It was the reason for me to stop spending my holidays in Jomtien and I enjoy them now in Hua Hin and Pran Buri. As soon as you are of the main road its quiet with more cows then cars. Loving it. Much more to explore and the roads smooth like a babys behind.

The main hold-up is the lights at 3rd Road. There are more people trying to get into or out of town than those crossing town. This seems to have escaped the notice of the dolts who set the traffic lights. The tailback reaches Sukhumvit so there is gridlock there too. Of course amid all of this chaos there is NEVER a sign of traffic police who could arrest those blocking ingress/egress of side sois by parking in the newly painted yellow-striped boxes.

Not with Rocky though.What´s wrong is that you sit drinking every day, around 4-8 beers or more. That classifies you as an alcoholic. But, if you see nothing wrong in that, that´s perfectly ok. Drinking every day usually also affects any good judgement a person might have had.

You avoid Pattaya and you rarely drink and still speak crazy and use words that doesn´t exist.First, you dig yourself down all by yourself. Like, how can you know it a very common expression in Pattaya, and at the same time post you avoid Pattaya??? You just shot yourself in the foot, without having a clue about it! That´s dumb!When you know finally posted the above, you have just given a new level of how severe the problem is. 😂
