Pattaya Baht Bus Driver Suspended Over 300-Baht Fare

A Pattaya baht bus driver has been suspended for seven days after admitting he charged two passengers 300 baht for a short ride. The passengers said they had earlier paid the normal fare of 15 baht each from Walking Street to Runway Market, then boarded another baht bus to return to Terminal 21 after heavy rain started. When they arrived, the driver allegedly demanded 300 baht and said it was a fixed charter price rather than a shared service fare. The complaint spread online, prompting the Pattaya Baht Bus Cooperative to summon the driver and park his vehicle during the suspension. The driver, identified as Somphong, apologised publicly and said he accepted responsibility for the incident.

Which achieves nothing and will likely get you a beating. Not condoning his rip off behaviour he deserves his punishment if not a tad lenient but playing the hard man won’t get you anywhere except maybe a hospital.
