Peeling away Bangkok's traffic woes

The declaration that fried banana sellers were to blame for the gridlock left one wondering whether those in charge are proposing earnest solutions or merely monkeying around

Never have fried bananas posed such a threat as they did last week in the Land of Smiles.

Yes it was a busy week, what with the King's birthday celebrations on Wednesday, unseasonable rains and more killings in the troubled South.

Amid all that, the Pom Prap cops had their hands full, stamping out a scourge they claim causes Bangkok's infamous traffic jams.

    Very funny again Khun Andrew. From what I have observed in Bangkok (and Washington, DC) is that people need to understand the cause of gridlock in traffic. If you can not clear the intersection, i.e. your car can make it across the cross street, then you should not enter the intersection. Good luck teaching them that.
