Not only that but when I see that tour bus is way too big for that town, especially when it has to stop everywhere.

Last time I was in HH a Tuk-tuk quoted me 200 baht for a very short journey.. I hopped on the local baht bus, cost 25 baht for the trip.

Ever tried baht bus in Hua hin? 

 

For sjmhort distances could do, but most of the time you need that, they are overcrowded. Not sure at the time being it is the same problem, but when Hua Hi busy, the baht bus is overloaded.

It is free , clean and very well run.

200 thb, that's a reasonable price, the time I live on Phuket you pay double, for a short trip.

This is what we have in the UK for all bus services. They follow a specific route with specified stopping places for passengers to get on and off, very rigid. It seems a bit of a backward step because the baht buses are much more flexible since there and no specified stopping places. Baht buses are the perfect mix, flexibility of a taxi and the capacity of a small bus
