new lane markings

I've always equated driving in Hua Hin with playing the old video games of my youth. I was very good at Atari "Missile Command", "Asteroids", and "Space Invaders".

Agree with that, it's like Asteroids when you get to the tiny fast ones coming at you from all angles, a hyperspace button on your steering wheel would be handy

Can't agree about 'your youth' though HHF as I was playing them in my youth, reckon you must have been in your 30's really

Did any of u ever drive motorcycle in phnom penh?
I guess then u would see thai drivers as very progressive.
Some years ago i was an racing driver until a nearly fatal accident stoped my career... Now still suffering aftermath...
Also i driven in many countrys of this world, but something weird as in cambodia i never saw in my life...
At least, if u drive racing u know that your opponents are racer too, and may have the same thoughts, the same ideal line and quite the same thoughts regarding risks and how to avoid, even at competitional hi-speed.
But at most asian countrys, specially the not so developed, its a high risk to drive.
At least, in thailand, if u compare it to this game, after a time u mostly know how they "react" and where will they come from... Level up...

Found something on youtube that nearly fits what i experienced there...

The second clip its vietnam, even worse....

I liked watching the guy walking across the intersection in Phnom Penh, swinging a plastic bag, without a care in the World.

If you look closely, there is also a guy walking across in the Vietnam video,
My God, he must lead a charmed life!

No wonder Buddhism preaches about multiple incarnations, you need everyone of them.

Perhaps that is how we should face these situations, forget all we have learnt in our own countries and just go for it. After all, it seems to work reasonably well. Until it all goes wrong, that is.
