Observation has taught me what I would have never otherwise deduced.

For days on end, Thai people will go about their business in understandable ways.  What I mean is there is a logic in why they do what they do.

THere one day the whole country comes unwound.  If you see one Thai driving stupid, expect more.  I saw a trashpicker with a load of recycle  and two small kids in the cart push the cart across a one way street without ever looking in the direction of oncoming traffic.  Today a Thai woman in the left lane and about 4 moto lengths ahead of me decided that she wanted to change lanes so she slowed down and eased over clipping my toe.  Fortunately I had seen the crazy and was ready for it.

Here are a few day in the life of Mae Sot pics with captions.
