Maybe it has been discussed, but what was going on last Friday 7-4-2017 after 5 pm?

 

Left Suksawat 92 around 5 p.m. and headed for Rachatewi...a distance of approx. 23 km......I arrived at my destination just before 11 p.m......6 whopping hours for 23 km.

In the 'heart' of Bangkok I did 1 km per hour average. 

 

I'm not living in Bangkok and therefore wonder: Is that normal for a Friday evening or is it because of the holidays?

 

Ah yes. It's total gridlock Fridays and only marginally better the rest of the time!

friday before a long holiday, alot of people are not working this whole week and left friday for holiday.  my guess is the trip would have been 3 hrs on a normal friday.

Driving a car on Friday night in Bangkok is just a bad idea - take a motorcycle instead. You're lucky it wasn't raining, because you'd still be there.
