About 10 staff co-members have a songthew (modified pickup) that takes us from near Bangkok Hospital to our office in Koh Kaew, near the Isuzu Showroom, Monday to Saturday.

We leave at 8:40 sharp. The return trip leaves at 6pm, except Saturday when we leave at noon. We have room for a few more people. Cost is about 1,250 baht per month. The more passengers the cheaper the per-passenger fare.

The route is Yaowarat Rd - bypass road - Thepkrasattri Rd.

If anyone is interested in joining us pls send me a Private Message.

I would also like to start a thread on the topic of carpooling and even hitchhiking on Phuket as well...what do you think?

Hmm doing that trip by car or motorbike, everday for a month is cheaper than 1250 baht in gas and you dont have to sit your ass on a unconfortable bench made in wood

Would have to be crazy?

Great Initiative taking public transport into their own hands! Good luck with this!

How great you can sit back and read a book and don't have to worry to much about being in a traffic accident, especially if you are on a bike.

Yes, we are all completely insane for not wanting to ride a motorbike along the bypass road or Thepkrasattri Road, the most dangerous road in Phuket, in the rainy season.

Btw, you make several false assumptions: 1. that everyone already owns or has access to a vehicle; 2. That the seats are made of wood, which they aren't - they are upholstered.

The price works out to about 25-30 baht per leg. It seems a small price to pay to me.

Anyway, the offer stands.
