12.17.25: Motorcycle Taxi Philosophy

Every motorcycle taxi driver in Bangkok has a theory about traffic. One guy told me the secret is to "think like water" and flow through gaps. Another swore by a more aggressive approach involving a lot of horn usage and faith. My favorite was an older driver who just shrugged and said, "We all get there eventually." He took thirty minutes longer than anyone else, but I arrived calm instead of gripping the seat like my life depended on it. Sometimes the destination matters less than your blood pressure when you arrive.
