Bathbuses??
A friend who lives in Patong told me he heard that they going to start bathbuses like in Pattaya?
4 buses crusing Nainai, beachroad and rat-u-thit 20 Bath every ride? It sounds great

A bath on a bus,  nah don't believe it. I've seen some crazy things in LOS, but never 20 people having a baths on a bus. Now the baht bus I do remember in Pats and yes it was useful. I used it from Walking Street up to soi 8 area a few times. Anything that gives the tuk-tuk mafia a run for their money is welcome news. I think I've read about this somewhere else on the this forum.

Maybe the tuk-tuk mafia will oppose such a plan?

What is it with the baht and bath confusion??
It is actually more than a dream, and the project is progressing. The routes have been defined, and at the moment it is B20 per journey. But as usual lets wait and see if it really happens.

The Pattaya Baht Buses are pick-up trucks with twin benches in the back, canopy roof. Bit bigger than a Patong tuk-tuk, seats 8-10. There are bloody hundreds of them here, and they too pip their horns at any likely-looking farang. They are however in constant motion so they're not parked on every corner hassling you to 'go see sex show' or 'massage'

Now if he could get an hourly service running Kata / Karon / Patong / Kamal / Surin Talang / Airport then I would be really impressed...

How much demand is there for a bus from the Airport to Phuket town? I would have thought that more people would want to go to the beaches. Is this service aimed at the Thai people?

The coastal route would bang heads against the tuk tuk mafia groups..
