Over 60,000 passengers are expected to travel out of Bangkok today (Thursday) using bus services of the state-run Transport Company, managing director Dr. Sanlak Panwatanalikit said today.

 

He said that the estimated figures are slightly higher than Wednesday, when about 56,000 passengers travelled out of the city for New Year celebrations on 3,500 bus and passenger van trips.

 

He said that all the bus drivers and bus conductors have been instructed to be ready to do their jobs, refrain from drug abuse and to make sure that all the vehicles are insured.

Good tyres and serviceable brakes optional then.

Traffic was extremely heavy this AM, northbound PKK to Hua Hin, even heavier in southbound lanes.   More motivation to take the scenic route, via the beaches, from Pranburi back to PKK on my return.
