- Scooters:
-Women wearing heels and still being able to shift.
-People driving while talking on the phone or texting.
-Girls riding side saddle due to the skirt of their school uniform.
-People eating Pad Thai while riding on the back (with chopsticks!).
-Scooters blasting by a Motorcycle cop at a red light going 100 km/h and him hardly noticing.
-Police setting up random road blocks and confiscating licenses of anyone not wearing a helmet while being stuck in traffic at a light. Fine of 200 Baht ($6) to have it returned...but in order to go to the office they have to drive across town without a license.
-People driving on the wrong side of the road, literally. Making a one-way street a two-way because it's "too far" til the next U-Turn.
-Topping off your tank for 80 Baht ($2.50) that will last you all week.
-Having the registration/insurance of your vehicle expire in the year 2554. (Roman Calendar: 2011 A.D.)
- Going to the Hospital for a health certificate with blood test for 150 Baht (about $4.50)
- Monks in bright orange, dark red or brown garb walking around barefoot in the midst of a modern supermarket not unlike Wal-Mart
- Children playing with massive bugs that chirp rather than buzz; tied to strings making them a sort of baloon with a mind of its own.
You can ride a scooter side-saddle? That's possible?
