This is the uncomfortable moment motorists struggled through a jam-packed motorway in Bangkok.

Helmet-mounted camera footage shows the chaotic scene along Charoen Krung 85 Road, where vehicles were packed bumper-to-bumper in the Thai capital.

Cars and motorbikes were wedged in every direction, some double-parked and others inching forward as the road narrowed to a crawl resembling a maze on November 11.

Drivers sat helplessly in the sweltering heat with their engines idling, while traffic enforcers were nowhere in sight to help control the flow.

Bangkok's traffic is notoriously congested, with narrow roads, dense vehicle volume, and frequent gridlocks that can turn even short commutes into hours-long ordeals.

The city has experienced a significant increase in the number of vehicles on its roads. In 2023, Bangkok had 566 vehicles per thousand residents, contributing to the high traffic density.

Statistics show that commuters were estimated to lose an average of 96 hours annually to traffic this year.
