Local Street Knowledge

Bangkok traffic at 6.45am

My usual daily routine is that I wake and leave for the office at 5.30am.  Why do I leave so early?  Well today I left at 6.15am and this picture shows the traffic on a local road near to my office at 6.50am.  This is why I leave so early.  Traffic! 

Leave later and an easy 30 minute trip door to door can take an extra hour.  What a waste of time!  The added advantage is that if I start early, I finish early and beat the traffic in the opposite direction at the end of the day. 

Am I ruled by traffic?  No.  Just by what makes good sense in one's local scene.  Best to live one's life with the best possible ease.
