Stricter disciplinary measures for rogue baht bus drivers coming in “4 to 5 months”

PATTAYA:--

Baht buses are once again in the news, even though basically nothing has changed since the last time they were making headlines.

The most recent complaints come from alleged overcharging during a recent beauty contest. Organizers, media and even beauty contestants were allegedly charged much more than the standard, written fare.

The matter was brought up at the Feb. 8 Pattaya Business & Tourism Association meeting at the Green Park Hotel in North Pattaya, where once again members wanted authorities to urgently resolve these kinds of issues in order to better the city’s tourism image.

Tawat Puakbunnak, president of the Pattaya Transport Cooperative, answered the charges by saying that the co-op has a car ply normal baht bus routes to see if anything nefarious is going on, such as arguments between tourists and baht bus drivers, and/or tourists being dropped off half way to their destination. He didn’t elaborate on how they would be able to recognize the latter, but did say that if passengers feel cheated, they should record the white letters on side of the baht bus and on the floor of the passenger space, or its license plate, and report this to the Pattaya Transport Cooperative office, at 144/37 Moo 4 Pattaya-Naklua Road, Naklua, Banglamung, Chonburi; or phone 081-9838-716, 038-423-554. He said the office would investigate the driver and, if necessary, dole out punishment.
