Baht Buses: When I had left in November, they had already started to have charts on how much to charge the customer. For 5 people it was up to a certain charge, then for more than 5 people it was a certain amount to a maximum charge depending on how far one had to go
However for a single person, it was 10 baht. So when the drivers get creative and try to hold you up for more, have your cell phone handy and know the number for the Tourist Police. UNLESS!! You ask the driver how far is it to a certain destination. Or, are you going to? Or, do you pass by.....? Or if the driver asks you where you are going and you tell him. THEN!! You have hired him as a baht taxi and you had better have done an agreed upon price from the git go. |

Except for the small problem when you ring them that the person answering the phone dosn`t speak English a lot of the time !TIT.

It was a feeling like hitting a small lottery when I'd get on a bus at Beach Rd. and Soi 6 and it would make the turn heading towards Jomtien instead of down 2nd Road. Buzz at the R.G. and slap him a 10 baht coin, felt like a puffed-up glazed ego.

What's interesting at the meoment is the number that ignor you as you wave them down - or rather they slow to an almost stop, then when they see you making for the back and not talking to them they pull away fast. In other words, they want would take you as a taxi, but not as a bus. Wonder how much from Soi 8 to Walking Street?
ps. I'm not going to pay more than 10B!! |
