Bangkok is very big, so I usually get around in my business partners' cars or by taxi. But this time I was often traveling during commuting hours, so I took the train. What surprised me there was that everyone lined up neatly on the station platform, and there was an unspoken rule that when the train came, people getting off went first and people getting on went after. On top of that, on the station escalators, everyone lined up in a single row on the right, just like in Tokyo. I thought that maybe Bangkok follows the rules more properly than Japan does. Traveling lets me discover sides like this too, and that's why I can't stop.
