Sukhumvit traffic suffers holiday hangover

Sukhumvit traffic suffers holiday hangover

n14packed-1.jpg

PATTAYA:--It began with a trickle, became a flood and then the traffic on Sukhumvit Road basically stopped as gridlock welcomed holiday travelers back home.

Pattaya’s slow-moving streets returned largely to normal by Jan. 3, even as Sukhumvit and highways leading to Sattahip and Bang Saray bogged down with cars and buses taking people off for the past week back to real life.

“The roads are always busy every year on the evenings of Dec. 26 and Dec. 30. Those two days are the busiest days of the year and is when the traffic police will have to carefully stand by and direct the traffic to prevent jams and accidents,” said Highway Police commander, Pol. Maj. Gen Somchai Kaosamran.

Bangkok residents, factory workers and civil servants around the country had Dec. 29-Jan. 2 as paid legal holidays this year and the capital emptied as people flooded to Pattaya, Hua Hin and northern cities for nine or more days. But they all had to come back to work by Jan. 5 and that’s when things got messy.
