      Hilarious observation about Thais and escalators: In Bangkok you have many ways to get around: Two subway/skytrains: BTS and MRT, taxi, tuktuk, mopeds, and walking. Mopeds are the craziest shit I've ever seen. The literally do not give a fuck about any laws of universe.

      Mopeds operate like taxis to book one, and then operate like a mad max beyond thunderdome death ride. Young Thai school girls will hop on one, sit side saddle, legs dangling out, texting and not paying attention while the moped dashes between cars, up sidewalks, in a suicide run

      BTS and MRT are great transit systems, and the stations are ultra clean with very nice escalators. ESCALATORS OF DOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!! Every subway station on almost ever car has extensive 10 minute videos about all the way you can die on an escalator.

      They walk up to the escalator and start trying to time it, looking down, stuttering, holding everyone up, it's like Indiana Jones trying to snatch that gold statue off and they have to get this timing just right...wait....wait WAIT YOU'RE GOING TO DIE! Whew! Just made it!

      You'll see a Thai office worker in a nice pretty dress, get off the MRT, walk up to the escalator, and panic, do this dance, avoiding the escalator get to the top JUST BARELY SURVIVING THAT DEATH TRAP STAIRCASE.... Then get to the top, exit the station, walk to the street....

      Then she hops on a moped, legs dangling of to the side, just texting like this is the dinner table and ain't no big deal that moped--which is now 2cm away from a taxi and a brick wall going the wrong way on the street--is totally safe. BUT WATCH OUT FOR ESCALATORS!

      It doesn't stop there. There is a metric shitload of things that could kill you in Bangkok that tough as nails Thais just shrug on like it's nothing. Tuktuk's are 3 wheel death traps made of solid metal? Unrefrigerated blowfish sushi in a pitch black night market? Whatevs.

          Bangkok's INSANE air polution? Whatevs, gives the city a glow. Crazy construction projects held up with bamboo? Meh. Crossing streets with ZERO cross walk signals? Pfft. But that escalator? Whooooa buddy. That's some dangerous shit there. Watch this 10 minute video.
