SONGTHAEWS/BAHT BUS: They are blue Isuzu trucks with an open camper-type shell in the back. They run the route of Beach Road and Pattaya Second. Do not get a ride from a driver that is stationary, the rates will be nuts. They are everywhere. One will honk at you and you wave them down. Get in the back and ride. Once you are at your destination, you press a small button and he lets you out. The fee is 10 baht. When you barfine a girl, it is a good idea to get a truck for yourself as you might not want assholes messing with her or Thai people making snide remarks. Up to you.
MOTORBIKES:A good way to get around if the traffic is heavy and you dont mind riding on the back of a bike with a nut job weaving in and out of traffic without a helmet. Not recommended. You should also avoid renting cars or bikes as they usually want your passport and will get the spare keys to steal your vehicle and expect huge sums of money. Try to avoid doing any business with a Thai man. The thai women are fairly honest but the men can be demons.
