Allows you to peer through the windows of the upstairs rooms...

Low hanging wires are always a danger to motorbike drivers, I wouldn't want to be a sightseer sitting on top of that bus.

This outfit ran these buses ( same colour scheme) in a number of cities in the UK, including the one I came from. There they used loopholes in the road traffic regulations designed to help public buses to trundle around. They run to a pre-recorded commentary, theoretically using headphones but in practice usually broadcast over loudspeakers. Because the drivers had to keep to the commentary they moved very slowly, and would stop in the middle of the road, pumping out diesel fumes and their inane historically inaccurate commentaries outside various landmarks. Major contributors to congestion and pollution, and where I lived (Bath) a lot of damage to the roads - the Georgian terrace housing has cellars which extend out under the roads.

 

I always wondered in what way they were "official". They were hated by the locals.

Bloody things.

Scenic photos of mass brawls at Bali Hai; nothing else of note happens till after dark when the buses don't run.

Oh heck, has Boris made it to Thailand  ????

[jacko45k]

I'm not thrilled. In a city where roadworks and heavy traffic are an issue they introduce vehicles too large to make most of the corners in town. Got their heads up their xxxxxs!

Meh, looks like they are sealed for the Chinese/Japanese.

 

I do like the older open air ones. To much to ask for here I guess, people are kind of spoiled and need the a/c everywhere.

 

That small upper roof section would likely be closed off during the tour for the a/c.

The strong sun and heat would make that a risk.... even getting to the upper deck might kill a few off.

I wonder at the commentary from the Tour Guide

" Well her we are in the famous City of Pattaya

Firstly on your right, you will see a huge unmarked hole in the Road which over the recent past has been the site of many accidents,

This hole is the much prized site of the City Council, and remains open for 24 Hours every Day

Next on the Left side you can see piles of stinking Trash - at this point in the Tour you are advised to hold your Noses

Next will be the sight and sound of many Beer Bars blaring out obnoxious Music

Apologies - Your Tour will have to be cut short as we appear to be stuck in Traffic"

Not stuck in traffic,     the drivers having a Kip, 

[bkk6060]

If they start near the Dolphin circle, go to BR to the end near WS,  then circle all the way back on 2nd road, it is probably a 30 minute ride with all the construction now.  Beach road is being torn up again and 2nd is full of major construction.  Will be very boring to sit on that bus.

I bet every Pattya YT vlogger is going to love this. Close your curtains and have your ladies place a hand on their melons as they walk outdoors. It's about to get wild!

Why? The name originates from Roman times, when it was known as Aquae Sulis, as they harnessed the natural thermal springs there to create a spa, which still exists. Or is this some cheap gibe at the cleanliness of Brits?

Built by the Romans on hot springs big Roman baths hence the name. Originally called Aqua Sulis - Latin for waters of the sun which would be an even stranger name. There are a couple of places called Bath in the USA, but since the original has been going for over 2000 years it is fair to assume that it is the original!

 

By the way, I think I get what you are suggesting, chose not to bite!
