Half a million fans crowd Pattaya
Beach for music paradise

The Pattaya International traffic jam, or rather, Music Festival attracted up to

abroad kept the 6 stages full and fans happy all weekend long. The only loud

It’s official:
Minimum baht bus fares now 10 baht

The Pattaya Baht Bus Co-operative has formalized what has
long been the case for most non-Thais traveling on the city’s blue taxis:
The minimum fare is now 10 baht.
Until last week, the co-op maintained that fares for all passengers were
actually as low as 5-8 baht, depending on the distance traveled. In reality,
non-Thais virtually never paid those fares and, since 2008’s surge in oil
prices, many Thais have also been paying 10 baht for a ride.
