This area, accessible to everybody, is totally entertaining. On this page, the Thai's words who lend themselves with pleasure to the game of derision and photo's comments, do not always have to be taken seriously.

It's 4pm on Nana Nua Road, Sukhumvit Soi 3 in Bangkok. Cars are already bumper to bumper - no-one's surprised and everyone's calm!
 ...stay so calm ?
The infernal traffic and the urban pollution are an integral part of the legendary Bangkok image. How do the citizens of the City of Angels live with these problems, day in, day out and yet keep their cool in the traffic jams?
Vi B.: A lot of people keep a photo of Buddha in their car or a religious pendant around their necks. You've also got aircon in the cars and the radio - you can listen to cassettes. All that helps you stay calm. 50% of people never get stressed out in a traffic jam, the get a bit annoyed but 30% of them manage to find a way to keep their cool. The other 20% bite their nails, chew gum, eat sweets, make phone calls...(laughing) (/LA)
