Riding Bitch in Bangkok...

... before anyone reads too much into the title; 'Riding Bitch' is the term used for a passenger on a motorcycle, and the intended meaning for the header of this story.

There are many ways to travle in Bangkok, but by far the quickest and most fun is on the back of a motorcycle taxi. If I am not walking through the labrinth that is Bangkok's city streets then I always opt for the motorcycle. The quickest way from A to B with a death defying exhilaration thrown in for good measure.

Apologies for the length of the video. It is my entire jourmey from the train station, HuaLumpong, to Kao San road, Bangkok. At roughly 12 minutes long, it gives you a good idea as to what the motocycle taxis were like.

This was, however, one of the more tame journeys I had though still with enough of near traffic contact to make an exciting trip.
