Bongbongs rating on you tube was slipping, so he makes up a story about being ripped off to generate some interest, pathetic.

Why can't you take what the guy says as the truth? 59,000 subscribers is doing ok, hardly slipping.

Pathetic? You said it....

Sounds like he asked the driver the fare and requested a specific destination up front, effectively chartering the baht bus for private hire.

Private hire = taxi. Are they licensed as taxis? I read sometime back that many are not.

Normal 10 baht fare?  Geez I've been paying 40 baht for the last 13 years on chiangmai 

And Thai people pay what? 

You never ask a baht bus how much. Just get in and pay the minimum when you get there, otherwise it's hire and reward. Same as a taxi.

Bong bong !!!! With a name like that he deserved to get ripped off lol lol ???? 

Anything for clicks on Youtube, he is earning hundreds of dollars on this BS as we speak.

Baht bus drivers can spot a rookie in an instant...I know from past experience...know the routes and prices before you board a bus...ask a question and you will surely be taken for an expensive ride!!!

How does one learn the route?
