Baht bus drivers and their familiar blue baht buses provide local Thais and tourists alike with one of the most reliable and best value-for-money services in Pattaya. That’s something to smile about if you happen to use the baht buses to get around Pattaya, but a smiling baht bus driver, like the one pictured below, is a rare thing. So, if you want to see a baht bus driver smile, here you go.
I guess baht bus drivers must work 10–12 hours per day, and whether they make good money probably depends on whether they are on a popular route like the Pattaya Beach Road and 2nd Road loop.
Given the long hours, the traffic congestion, and the fact that driving in Pattaya calls for a high level of concentration, is there any reason for a baht bus driver to smile?
