Pomchop , you seem to "catasphrize" matters if I may use that word 

The OP is posting on challenges he is finding and very interesting too.

As for "catasphrize" in your case it means behind your psyche that a person may mention something small to you and your psyche will tell you they are complaining.

There is a interesting thread on here about "thoughts" , please read it and all the best Pomchop in your psychology self help study 

How much do yo charge per therapy session ...I need help after reading your post....lol.

"bus from Ekkamai"

Reading correctly and comprehension is not compulsory on AN, and it shows with some posters.

Best advice I have been given  was to arrive at you destination in daylight if possible.That way you can see where your going,you have a petter chance of toilets being open,if any at all, and anything being open and a better chance of a taxi or some type of lift to your hotel.

Good advice unlike OP who arrives at 10pm on arguably the busiest night of the Pattaya year and then make a thread complaining about no taxi as his first impression of Pattaya 😉

Farangs use the public buses here?

Location dependent.  Only in BKK, and bus is actually my first choice, if convenient.  I self drive (not in BKK), so always have the car handy when not in BKK.

 

I usually won't drive in BKK, unless going to a mall, and during non rush hours.

You mean inter-province ? ... then depends where & waht company you use.  Info available online, if actually interested.   Usually provide a bit more comfort, less seating, more elbow room, maybe.  Both, govt & private, cheap enough if not having a car, or don't want to go long distance on MC.

 

I just use the public bus lines around BKK, and occasionally, rare, baht bus in smaller towns like Hua Hin, and in the past, Pattaya.
