Baht Bus Costs....

[BigDamo]

Chaps, I am coming back to Pattaya this year after a few years of going elsewhere and am wondering what the going rate is for non Thai's to travel from the Dusit / Amari down to Walking Street on a Baht bus?

10 Baht

[BigDamo]

Really? For non Thai!!

[Forkinhades]

Yes really, they have had a bit of a shake up.

Before you get on tell the driver sip baht kap.

Don't talk to the driver at all.

Just hand over the 10 baht in coins at the end.

This isn't a controversial route.

It is 10 baht. Period.

There is a small chance the driver will turn off at Pattaya Klang.

In that case, you must still pay the 10 baht.

Cheers.

If the baht bus turns off beach road onto Pattaya Klang you need to pay ten baht, then hail another bus to complete the journey to walking street?

Doesn't seem fair. A100% increase in fare to reach the destination.

It depends.

Some of the baht buses travel west on Pattaya Nua after making the left turn at Dolphin Circle, which means you would have to get off and catch a different bus in front of Dental Smile at the top end of Beach Road. Cost is 10 baht each.

However, the majority of them make the U turn on Pattaya Nua (made necessary by the closing of Dolphin Circle southbound traffic) and come back to Beach Road then continue southbound. Cost is 10 baht.

Just ask " Beach Road?" when first boarding and they will tell you which route you are on.

Thanks also to WaywardWind, I would not have known that they changed the flow of traffic at Dolphin roundabout. That complicates the journey further.

is this an ironic thread? are people prepared to pay thousands of baht for something the rest of use comfortably enjoy for free really bothered about at 10 baht bus fare?

Haven't the Naklua to Beach Rd. Baht Buses always turned up Pattaya Nua then a quik U turn back to the beach?

Most of the baht buses southbound on the Pattaya-Naklua Road make the U turn after turning on to Pattaya Nua, and then head for Beach Road.

Some don't make the U turn and continue eastbound on Pattaya Nua.

I would estimate that 8 out of 10 make the turn and head to Beach Road, but it doesn't hurt to check with the driver before boarding.

They are not really bothered. They just want to see their "names" up in print. Bored old men, I feel sorry for them.
