Overnight Busses
Moby | 19/4/2006Last nite returned from Koh Pha Gan, to BKK
On the road it was a real experience to see the bus overtake a truck into oncoming traffi, and again on a blind corner. a flash of the headlights and just enough space is made.
Also making it an adventure: bus changeovers in Sura Thani.
We arrived on one bus, got shuffled off it, and basically everyone got split up. I ended up on a Ute w one other guy. I made the joke we have been selected for Kidney Harvest.
But what seems to happen is that everyone gets shared around to different staging areas (read: buy food/internet from us)
and then shipped back to get on the next bus a couple of hours later.
Not to mention that the convenient & cheap busses (ala kaosan rd) subsidise their operations by stealing anything they fancy from your packs.
