Whizzing through Bangkok Traffic

Stuck in traffic jam in a bus or in a cab and you will cursing those motorcyclist who zig zags in between vehicles and get ahead of everyone.
Took a motorcycle taxi today. A normal bike with the motorcyclist ina red vest, that's how you spot a motorcycle taxi in BKK. Very cheap and fast mode of transport. U see all sorts of people taking it. I saw a mum and her kid got onto 1, school girls (yupz in skirts), working adults with their laptop bags, ang-mohs or thais alike... Kinda dangerous though coz usuauly rhey dun provide a helmet. Even if they do... i wun put it on!!! Imagine who was the previous person using it. Anyways its just a piece of metal head gear, not those high tech F1 bike type of helmets with visor or watz...
Usually we take the Maple House Tuk Tuk to work, but gary and me waited for abt 10min, still no sight of it. We pretty much guessed tt it was stuck in a jam. So we decided to take the motorcycle taxi. ANd we were right, along the way there, we saw the Tuk Tuk, still stuck in along Narathiwat road... BYEBYE...
