معنی
Moving from one side to another.
زمینه فرهنگی
In Bangkok, pedestrians often wait for a gap in traffic rather than expecting cars to stop at zebra crossings. It's a 'negotiated' crossing. If a driver stops for you, a quick nod or a small hand gesture of thanks is highly appreciated and common. The 'Saphan Loi' (flyover) is a symbol of Thai urban life. They are often decorated or have vendors at the base. Some Thais believe in 'Mae Yanang' (the goddess of the vehicle). Crossing in front of a car is sometimes seen as slightly disrespectful to the spirit of the car if done abruptly.
Look both ways
In Thailand, cars drive on the left. Look RIGHT first, then left, then right again!
Motorcycles
Even if cars stop, motorcycles might lane-split and pass through. Always keep an eye out.

The Hand Signal
Extend your hand slightly towards the traffic while crossing to signal your intent to drivers. It works!
Flyovers are King
If there is a flyover within 50 meters, use it. Thais consider it much more polite and safer than forcing traffic to stop.
