Dear Hillary,
Do you have any influence in City Hall? The situation with all these tour busses has now reached crazy Bangkok proportions. Sukhumvit Road was blocked with busses in both directions on Friday night. Then when they try and get round some of the corners in the small sois they bank up the traffic for blocks. If city hall thinks tourists like sitting for hours on a bus and going nowhere, they should try sitting in a bus with them. Wake up TAT as well.
A good idea will be to get rid of policeman at intersections who keep the traffic going in one direction for 10 minutes, by which time the cross traffic is getting really cross! The police would be better used keeping cars from clogging up the intersections. They must do something soon or Pattaya won’t be a tourist “hub” much longer.

Dear George,
I agree with you. The traffic is now getting really bad, and tourists will very soon get the word out that two days in Pattaya means 24 hours in a bus. Sorry but I haven’t got any influence in city hall or TAT, but get any of your Thai friends to speak to the people in power. That way the message might get to the top. Lots of luck!
