roger101 Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Up to when they stopped running I use to use the baht us to go to Thappaya Road. Very rarely the return because I was too late and it had stopped running. But I have missed it the last couple of years .So Saturday on my motorbike I noticed people boarding a Baht Bus to come up Thepprasit. Are they operating now? I don't wont to walk to Thepprasit (admittedly only a short way) and wait for a Bus that doesn't come and then end up getting a motorbike taxi anyway. Yes I know I have a motorbike but I don't drink and drive. Any news? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubascuba3 Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 I've not seen baht buses on Thepprasit and i go a few times a week, but I'll look out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeptic7 Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Don't know, but why not just use Bolt or Grab? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IAMHERE Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 They seem to run on Friday, Saturday and somewhat on Sunday. I see them on those nights from around 4:30 to 7:30 , probably for the market trade. Very sporadic on other times. Of course, these are the only times I've noticed them running, not all the time like before Covid. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Branche Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 I ride that road often. I have not seen any regular or daily baht buses. Hopefully it will return when more tourist visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LALes Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 You've got your work cut out for you trying to get a baht bus up Theprasit. Rare, indeed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worse comes to worse the orange vest moto guys on the corner would take 40 baht to ride you up to the market, I'm sure. At least take you close enough to walk the rest of the way. Don't forget to do the Kwai market a little bit before the night market area. Come to think of it, if they won't accept 40 baht to the night market maybe to the Kwai market, visit that flea market then walk on up to the night market. Have fun, I actually enjoy the used/2nd hand market a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackshadow Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 they have always been HIT & MISS down this road.....for some reason......!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger101 Posted November 18, 2022 Author Share Posted November 18, 2022 The problem at the moment is that we are in a Catch 22 situation. The Baht Buses wont return until there are customers to pick up. Conversely the customers wont return until they are sure there will be Baht Buses running. What we need is some wealthy local firm to sponsor some Buses for a period of time (guaranteeing a income for each driver). After that period let the drivers decide if there is enough customers to continue. There must be one or two large local firms that could help. I can think of at least one.
