cotambear Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 How about running a baht bus service Kamala, loop of patong, kata/karon and back? The drivers would have to be armed off duty policemen, and at night the bus parked in the police station. All profits if any to the orphans. Never going to happen I know, but if it did it would be 100 times bolder than virgin galactic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seaeagle Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Have always thought that a big tourist company could 'dress up' a bus service for Karon to Patong as "The Phuket West-Coaster". Start at Laem Promthep, and continue to, say, Surin. Make it a hop-on / hop-off service for the tourists and sightseeing. That would give the mafia some headscatching to do!

hkt83100 Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Go ahead and start the service. Good luck, you will survive about 1/2 a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gvallee2 Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 how about you spend a measly 100baht a rent a motorbike for the day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katabeachbum Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 (edited) I was actually looking into it 5 years ago with some BIB in Chalong, until I found out the fare is desided by the governor at max 20 baht. Even if the investment was only 1,2 mill baht a unit, it was hard to calculate any profit at those fares Another problem was going through 3 different police districts, not being able to employ only Chalong police officers Edited January 11, 2010 by katabeachbum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh sorry I nearly went off topic then and started on about the tuk tuks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
