Near the famous Soi Cowboy night club street is one of the busiest intersections in Bangkok. If you mistime the lights at this intersection you could flattened by the wave of speeding motorcycles.
To help you make it across there is the standard red pedestrian traffic light for when your waiting, which turns into the green walking man for when it's safe to cross.
However when your crossing time is almost finished the green walking man turns into green running man to let you know to pick up the pace and get to the safety of the sidewalk.

Bangkok is a huge, sprawling city. When you look at a map, you have no concept of the vast distances between major tourist areas. It would be very difficult to do a lot of walking in Bangkok.
However, walking within the neighborhoods (such as along Sukumvit) is very convenient. There are plenty of cross walks and pedestrian overpasses, and there are sidewalks in most places.

Walking - the best excercise!
Wonder why Thai people are so skinny?!
They walk a lot, in fact with all the bridge and staircases ard, as compared to Singapore!
Singaporean are so much fortunate!
I walk and walk........and continue to walk..........

The traffic condition is bad... There is no fix direction for the traffic flow. The flow changes depending on the traffic condition. There are signages to show the flow of traffic. To save time, please just use the over head bridges. There's plenty around. The air is also better up there... Much better!
Taking the MTR is also not a bad idea... But it's super crowded during peak hours... and there's no escalators to the platforms... Use the stairs!

Good news, there is now a special protected suspended "bridge" or path for walking people.
This great idea (and path) is linking Chitlom station to Siam station.
The skywalk is open from 06.30 till 24.00 and is totally free.
Walk safe in the shopping area !!!!

In my opinion, walking is the best sort of transportation in Bangkok. What better way to take in the local's life leisurely rather than speeding by in a taxi. Just pay attention to the traffic. Bangkok has some of the craziest drivers known to man.
