Rimmer Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Pattaya to add more motorcycle taxis in January PATTAYA:--Pattaya will add to its large stable of motorcycle taxis when registration opens again Jan. 1. Banglamung Deputy District Chief Pichet Thammahol said Chonburi Province ordered another registration period in late September. The idea is to give more people a chance to earn a living wage by becoming legal drivers. Registration will continue through March 31 with applications to be made at police stations. Applicants must bring their public-motorcycle license, bike registration and ownership documents or a contract showing the bike has been leased to them. Police will inspect and certify new drivers by the end of March, paying special attention when new motorcycle stations are set up so they do not overlap the boundary of another base. -- © Copyright Pattaya Mail 2018-12-07 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a serious note, it would be nice if they had more songtaews after midnight until 7am. Sometimes have to wait around for them for quite a bit of time.

Benmart Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Living in Pattaya and observing their behaviors, I can only say that motoscooter taxis are like four wheeled taxis; unregulated, unlawful and and an organized group of thugs supported by an impotent administration.

Sometimes have to wait around for them for quite a bit of time. They are parked at a few locations waiting to be filled up, which may take a while as it gets later. Try a motorbike taxi.

What an excellent summation of Pattaya's traffic problems. How can taximeterless taxis flout the law of the land without police connivance? Who is the 'group of thugs'? Where is this 'impotent administration'? Send answers on a postcard to soi 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickymouse1 Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Most of those I used in Pattaya are rude and dishonest if not they have a real Mafia attitude towards tourists and will use violence to extort higher fare. THUMB DOWN!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notasmartassknowitallfarag Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Absolute rip off compared to Bangkok. Especially anywhere near walking street. I can pay 20 baht for a 2km journey in BKK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmen Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 My advice is to walk , it's only 10 minutes away . Walking is good for you. I do 40 mins on the gym bike every morning. Walking barely gets the heart rate up. But still I never gives bike guys a single baht. Just need to walk to a connecting baht bus but oddly it's easy from soi bukaho to central but getting back there is no direct route Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
