• I had the courage

    24. juli 2023, Thailand ⋅ ☁️ 28 °C

    Today was a long day, since 14h I am on the road. It is not the time to take a cab, the streets of Bangkok are closed. Just as I at BCM want to take the BTS, a motorcycle taxi driver approaches me.
    At first I refuse, but change my mind. 300 Baht he wants to Ekkamai. That is CHF/Euro 7.50. Really usurious. Twice as much as the cab this morning.
    100 baht more as the TukTuk yesterday! Whole 7x as much as the BTS.
    But I do it!

    Well, he puts on a helmet, I don't get one. Then it goes up to 65/h.
    Like a flea, from one lane to the other. Snaking through the traffic jam. I hold on, not sure if I'll survive. But I've never been home that fast.
    The scenery was sensational. The wind in my hair too.
    In a quiet moment I can film a little.
