Popular Post rooster59 Posted February 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 15, 2020 Video: Bangkok traffic is so bad taxi driver passes time by working out in his cab Getting stuck in traffic is par for the course if you live Bangkok, especially if you are driving during the evening rush hour. In 2017, a study by INRIX, which analyses traffic congestion around the world, found that Bangkok drivers spend an average of 61 hours per year stuck in traffic, which is longer than in any other country. But what can you do to beat the boredom and frustration of being stuck in a traffic jam? You might honk your horn, which may relieve your frustration for all of a split second or you could risk breaking the law by reaching for your phone and posting about your frustrations on social media. But most likely, you will simply stare aimlessly at the bumper to bumper traffic in front of you. Well now a Bangkok taxi driver has come up with a very different approach to beating the boredom of being stuck in a traffic jam. On Thursday, Facebook user Book Chaoguay shared a video of a taxi driver appearing to do sit ups in his cab during rush hour congestion in Bangkok. The clip, which was taken at Surasak intersection, shows the taxi having adjusted his seat, appearing to perform sit ups. The clip proved popular with netizens and has been viewed more than 1 million times. Many people commenting praised the taxi driver saying the sit ups will help him get in shape. -- © Copyright Thai Visa News 2020-02-15 Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking Thailand news and visa info 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could end up in a 'situation' with the driver in front of you. Remember that very many drivers are armed with guns, machetes, knifes and what not.

Everybody plays on their phones while driving in BKK, and at every red light which finally turns green, there is always at least one clown that delays 10 carlengths before looking up from their phone and stupidly realizing its time to go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captor Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Sometimes I do not see the video. Can it be some filter in Firefox taking it away? Any ideas about that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
