On Dry Land in Bangkok

Boats are actually the most efficient and cheapest way to get around the city, but if you do need to travel on land, the Tuk tuks are the most fun way. Traffic is insane and driving follows British rules of driving on the other side. The only way to cross a street is to literally step out into traffic and have faith that they will stop. It took me almost 20 minutes to get across one street this morning on my own. One incredibly modern twist is that there are electronic maps hung over the roads that show upcoming intersections and possible traffic problems while you are driving, to help you make decisions about driving routes.
