I will describe about a car journey that we took a lot of time that we expected. So in that day, I think it’s last year, maybe 25 December 2024. So we want to go to Bangkok and that day we are from Chiang Mai. So I think it’s a new world. And there are four people in my family and we went to there together. So when I sit in my car, I feel worried and uncomfortable to sit or eating in car. Because in that day, I think I have an headache and I feel sick. Because this trip, the car took longer than we expected. Because it’s a traffic jam, as I said. It’s holiday, it’s new year, it has many people in every restaurant. For example, we want to eat this restaurant in that day. But it has so many people to eat in that restaurant. So we wait for two hours to eat and then we are late. So and we also start the car late from 7 p.m.

I will describe a car journey that took a lot longer than we expected. On that day, I think it was last year, maybe December 25, 2024. We wanted to go to Bangkok, and we were coming from Chiang Mai. There were four people in my family, and we went there together. When I sat in the car, I felt worried and uncomfortable sitting or eating in the car. On that day, I had a headache and felt sick. This trip took longer than we expected because of traffic jams, as I mentioned. It was a holiday, it was New Year, and there were many people in every restaurant. For example, we wanted to eat at a restaurant that day, but there were so many people there. We waited for two hours to eat, and then we were late. We also started the car late, around 7 p.m.
