Thepprasit baht bus (weekdays)?

[nupersoodles]

Can anyone please inform me as to the frequency, if any, of baht buses running along Thepprasit Road on non-market days (Monday to Thursday), or is only really something that runs when the market is on?

They shuttle along all the time as far as I can see and we live just round the corner.

Great to know, was planning a trip to Tesco Lotus; should make things a lot cheaper. Thanks!

On both sides from starting points the most time only move if enough people a board , not as frequent as jomtien beach road to Pattaya and reverse , market days of course more frequent as more travelers for market, thus filling up quicker

Where specifically are the starting points? Sukhumvit on one end and theppraya on the other? 

 

Maybe just bad luck on our part but we seem to always end up taking a taxi after the night market. Same when I am at theppraya and thepprasit in the afternoon trying to go to the outlet mall / Tesco.

On Thapraya side starting point is 100 meter from Thapraya corner near the first massage place front .

On Sukhumvit side good 50 meter from corner up front the yellow taxis stand (almost beginning Theprasit rd.)

When market  then the Baht bus TAXI  HUSTLERS come in on force , then just walk a  little further for the regular 10 baht ones (most time loading and going very bizzy , coming and going ..) at end market Thapraya side corner ,and see there the filling 10 baht baht busses 

 

 

This only for market days evening until market finnish as step up point for the regular 1 baht ones

second pic is the normal end/start stop near Tesco 

Third pic  the normal beginning start point near Thapraya

฿40 from the nearby motorbike stands are an option too.
