Highways ???
You can't call mainstreet in some village an highway.

It's a lowway otherwise it would got flooded.

 

Oh, I forgot. In Thailand they can call it an highway. Probably because many idiot Thais go pedal to the metal.

First I got confused about highways flooded, as you know they were supposed to be high and picture doesn't show them like that. Anyway, I am happy I click this cause I found out a lot of interesting facts about Thai. I would not call Thais idiots, they just have different driving traditions and idiots going pedal to the metal are everywhere.
