A short ride up Sukhumvit. Photo Gallery by Ken McColl at pbase.com

A short ride up Sukhumvit.

Bangkok traffic snarls are horrendous...0ver 20 minutes to go only 100 - 200 metres is not uncommon.
Motorcycle taxis to the rescue! They weave and dodge and squeeze through tiny spaces, sometimes on the footpath.
I am told there are 3 serious accidents every hour....as in deaths on motorcycles.
It is however the only way to get about.
So with camera in hand I jumped on a motorbike taxi and just shot away as I went !! Fun VIEW WITH SLIDESHOW

My captain ~ My hero

Lets go the wrong way ~ its quicker

Yeh, MUCH QUICKER !

Easy

Just a bit of a squeeze

We CAN fit.

Tight squeeze.

Very tight squeeze.

Extreme squeeze.

Ken You've got some great shots in your Thailand gallery, but this set really stands out. Love the concept, execution and commentary. Helps that I've 'been there, done that'. Keep up the good work.
