OMG.. The traffic here so scary. No traffic light. Though many overbridges but still prefer to jaywalk.

hahaha. your first time there? pratunam area de traffic quite jialat one.

Not first time. But then still very scary.. I see people cross then I just follow. It's good most of the time the cars will give us cross and never horn us.
