Sawatdee, krup! Sabai dee mai, krup? Are you well today? Good! You don't get airsick, do you? Good because, as soon as you fill your coffee mug and munch down a virtual treat or two, we are going to continue our world tour. Yesterday Ecuador. Today...Bangkok, Thailand!
You likely know Uber...the alternative ride-sharing transportation company that is doing its best to stand the taxi business on its ear in many cities around the world. Well Bangkok is no exception.
As in other major cities, Bangkok commuters suffer the agonies of traffic jams morning, noon and night, but now there is a way over all that -- UberCopter.
Digital ride-sharing service Uber has chosen Thailand's capital to launch its new commuter experience in Southeast Asia.
But while it may be a way beat Bangkok's traffic chaos, cost-conscious commuters could be wary, as they will have to pay "a little bit more" for this time-saving convenience.
Last Sunday, the California-based company offered free helicopter rides on demand to Bangkok customers, who were given an exclusive 30-minute tour over the city. In real life, the fares have not yet been announced. (Video by Jetjaras Na Ranong and Chumporn Sangvilert)

See ya, eh!
