Bangkok roads were built to handle a maximum of 1.2 million cars.
As of 2023, there were over 9.7 million cars registered in Bangkok and the number could be even higher.
With almost 10 times the amount of cars the streets can handle, it is no wonder Bangkok has some of the most congested traffic in the world.
Bangkok, due to the amount of cars, also leads the country with the highest amount of car accidents.
Even if you own a car, if you don’t have to drive in Bangkok’s daily traffic, don’t!
