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!
