The joy of owning a motorcycle in Bangkok


Traffic is not a word in Bangkok - it is a state of being. Unlike Hyderabad India, you will hardly ever hear a horn honk, but you will have to deal with what I affectingly call :

"Mosquitoes of the road"

The motorcycle driver in Bangkok rules the day. They zip in an out of traffic, criss-cross from side to side, driving perpendicular at times, between the cars and buses. This pictures does not do the experience justice. But it was the best I could do - at a safe distance from one of the 'fly over' cross walks.

I count 6 motorcycles and 8 riders. Can you find them?
