When you're late getting somewhere in Bangkok, the fastest way towards your destination is always on the back of a motorcycle taxi. I ride them at least once a day. These drivers pay no attention to any of the vehicular rules and regulations. Expect to weave through traffic, drive straight into oncoming masses and cruise part of your trip down busy sidewalks. What stoplights?
update Motorcycle taxis are the total badasses at the top of Bangkok's transportation system. They're the fastest, most dangerous, and certainly most expensive- and the underground Asian mafia controls most of their organization. You'll notice the blue vest my driver is forced chooses to wear- it helps identify who his local boss is.
