Watching from Australia. Bangkok according to this video: no large busses, no trucks, no cargo vans, no jeepneys. Do these only operating night time? Thought I saw Nissan, Hyundi, Kia & Honda sedans, as well as the universal Toyota.
Saw one lady in a mini skirt, sitting lady-like with both knees on the left side of the motorcycle (scooter. Very dangerous when lane-splitting is so common. Rarely saw motorcycle drivers without crash helmet - illegal? All the vehicles had lights (brake, turning indicators) working, but rarely used their turning indicators.

If you live in LA, NYC, London and think you have bad traffic, try going for a cab ride in Bangkok. During business hours, you will literally get to any destination faster by walking, although that really isn't pleasant in Bangkok due to the humidity and air pollution. Internal combustion motorbikes in Thailand should be taxed like cars, or even higher. Use that to subsidize electric scooters. It would do wonders for air quality.

Bangkok is amazing! But I definitely wouldn't drive there. I took uber for the first 2 days and wasted so much time being stuck in traffic that I finally decided to take the metro/ skytrain. Metro in Bangkok is well thought out and very easy to follow. Can really help save a lot of time and make the Bangkok experience more enjoyable.

16: 35 ''I did It''. ''I'm a harness in Jamaica'' T. shirt. Can anyone explain? Btw. Mrs69p drove to the Bamboo Bar with her mates. Got sloshed and drove back with her merry mates.
BKK. They drive on the proper side. Business as normal if you are in any way a decent driver. But who is?

Pretty good cross section of Bangkok main streets. Village (estates for you Brits) driving is little more complicated and crowded. I drive in Bangkok daily and attest to the motorbike dangers as they do what ever they want and frequently cut in front of cars.

Nice ride, it makes me have the feeling driving in Thailand, good for my mind to have habit to drive on the right car seat. Sure no habit and with my left hand more weak, it may be more difficult to manipulate the gear box.

As a Japanese car owner, I love how Japanese automobiles are literally dominating the roads and are trusted by the locals in an SEA country known for harsh climate.

People who are complaining about scooters, I challenge them to drive in Indian cities like Bangalore, Hyderabad, etc. You'll see how crazy roads can be.
