On The Street Where I Live
Dr. Jeff, Where do you live? What's it like there?
This is Chaengwattana Road in the northern suburbs of Bangkok. It is a fast growing area with even faster growing traffic. When I moved out here 14 years ago you could shoot a canon ball down Chaengwattana and not hit anybody. Drive west about three miles from here and you come to my house. These two photos were taken from the same spot, facing 180 degrees apart.
The Thai Government has relocated most of the bureaucracy from the beautiful Thai style old buildings downtown to bright and architecturally plain modern buildings out in my part of town. This has caused the traffic. You are looking east here. But I forgot to say . . . that I LOVE Bangkok!
I went to the Bira Circuit road race track this morning to see my freind Khun Mac race. He won! I made an addition to my pervious entry on Bira. Go here to read my update on the Bira race.
This is Khun Mac at speed on the back straight of the Thai Bira Circuit. Read all about it HERE.
