- Bangkok is one of the safest cities in the world. You can walk the streets at any hour of the day or night in relative safety. But that degree of safety does not apply to the roads of Bangkok. The roads of Thailand can be very dangerous indeed. In this video I focus on driving in Bangkok, and show you exactly what it is like.
Check out my other channel The Big Picture - El Panorama where I interview girls in Bangkok. Here's the link. / @thebigpicture-elpanorama
Straightening your front wheels when parking (in front wheel driven cars such as your Toyota) is good practice and reduces prolong tension on the rubber bushes that encase the CV joints Else, when cracks develop on the rubber bushes, sand gets in and cuts the smooth joints. A costly repair that can be avoided. I religiously do this on the advice of my mechanic.
I kept on smiling while watching this video because I realized that this feels exactly like driving in the Philippines.
You'll be getting the whistle blown at you because for your parking😂
I drive regularly in Bangkok - I don't think it's that dangerous tbh. People generally follow the rules, with some exceptions (such as the emergency lane/hard shoulder being illegally used as an extra lane when there's traffic, or the occasional motorbike running a red light). I used to commute to Central London on a daily basis, and honestly life isn't that different here. Sure, there's a ton more cars, a ton more bikes, but I don't see accidents more often than I did in London. Also people are really good at indicating here, probably more than in the UK. The main thing that I really dislike (and this actually applies to the US too) is that people don't understand that you're meant to stay LEFT unless you're overtaking. Trucks/lorries driving in the 'fast lane' (the right-most lane) slower than everyone else are super annoying. There'd be a lot less traffic if everyone followed that rule IMO... and it'd be safer
To be honestly , i agree with ur opinion about this issue, i’m living in hanoi right now, bangkok and hanoi both have same traffic system, same car😅, but they have different rules .moving in every street in hanoi , you will feel fidget , sometimes more dangerous than thailand
Love it, total freedom.

The reason they want you to park with your wheels straight (and in neutral gear) is so that they (usually the security guard) can push your car, if you park in the middle of the driveway like that black car, so others can come out of their parking lots but if u r in a lot I don't see the logic other than "it can damage your steering column" if you park with your wheels not straight.
I didn't know you live in a house that big mate 😮
Hi, it is an apartment complex.
@@alphaomegadaily Impossible
But Bkk going slowly.
In Saraburi with enormous factories with 200.000 employer with not many red lights there you can talk about dangerous!
I driving morning and evening in traffic jam.
Everyone will be first!
Caos is only the first name!😮
I am scared. I am calling the cops...
Hahaha I find it hilarious and exhilarating. Try driving from central Java to Jakarta during Ramadan, its that times 10. I have done it 4 times and its a blast and yep take no shit, you must do as they do. Its the biggest shit show you will see. Second to a Vietnam school run. far out it leaves all for dead the most insane thing I have ever witnessed.
A thai license should come with an automatic body part donations slip... cause it's going to happen..
Very well said Ted!
