Thread: Pattaya Officials Establish Fixed Rate for Speedboat Fare to Koh Larn

Pattaya and Banglamung district officials convened on September 23rd to establish a uniform pricing for speedboat ticket to Koh Larn to tackle confusion and intense competition among operators.


The meeting was jointly chaired by Mr. Wuttisak Rermkijakarn, the deputy mayor of Pattaya, Mr. Phisit Sirisawadinukul, the Banglamung district chief, and Pol. Lt. Col. Surachet Aneksri, the deputy superintendent of the Pattaya Police Station.

The main issue addressed at the meeting was the pricing of speedboat tickets from Bali Hai Pier to Koh Larn, operated by private speedboat operators.

Authorities pointed out that the pricing was too diverse, causing confusion among visitors. The lack of standard fare also led operators to undercut each others on the prices, which could potentially lead to physical confrontations.


To address the ununified pricing, Pattaya authorities passed a resolution to standardize the ticket fare, setting it at 300 baht for a round trip and 150 baht for a one-way trip. This doesn’t include, of course, renting an entire boat privately for oneself but rather going in a full boat group.


This applied to all speedboats starting from September 23rd.


Previously, the city imposed a ban on speedboat operators from aggressively herding visitors to sell their services. The restriction followed a violent and viral fight between operators vying for customers at Bali Hai Pier in August.

Pattaya Officials Establish Fixed Rate for Speedboat Fare to Koh Larn - The Pattaya News

Do you get a refund if your driver mows down a couple of tourists and flees the scene without dropping you off?

no......

Wouldn't get within a mile of one.

Because the Thai are the stupidest, greediest and most incompetent folk in the region, if not the planet, they have at any one time around a hundred speedboats strung out across Pattaya Bay all competing for tourists whose numbers wax and wane according to season but which are also subject to global shocks. This grotesque over supply is of course typical Thai as they pile in onto what they think is a sure winner oblivious to the fact their increasing numbers militate against a profit.

One guy opens up a laundromat and gets reasonable custom, five more will open within the same locale, a massage parlour opens and does well, ten more will open in the same street, a ganja cafe opens and ten more open within 100 metres, five beer bars work one street, 50 more will be there in a year.

Stupidest fucks on the planet.

You've not spent much time in Cambodia then, SA?

Hal, I give them a free pass given their country ceased to exist in any meaningful form for over 25 years and only recently emerged from that cataclysmic event but is now in the throes of getting leased to the filthy commie Chink fuckers.

Frankly, the whole world seems to be unravelling with Western Europe the only bright spot on a dismal horizon, excluding Britain of course which is now mostly populated by The Stupid. The Antipodes are irrelevant not least because, like your grandmother’s cvunt, everyone knows it’s there but who the fuck wants to go - it’s not worth the distance and mostly dry and arid.

The US is our saviour but given a significant proportion there want to re-elect the dimwitted, orange, rapist, fraudulent cvunt as POTUS they’re no different to Russian scum.

We’re all fucked one way or t’other, so I suppose going to hell in a basket with a bunch of chickenhead cretins isn’t such a bad outcome after all.

Yes, they do have a bit of an excuse, to be fair.

SA

europe, especially germany, are unravelling spectacularly, thanks to their love of russian gas and their willingness to freely sell their auto technology to the chinese, who are now using it much more efficiently and they will soon have brought the german auto industry to its knees. the eu will of course attempt to enforce restrictive protectionist taxes, but the chinese will still outsmart them.

your insane brexit obsession is still clouding your never ending end of the pier predictions, not one of which has ever come to pass. you are nothing more than a bloviating poundshop nostradamus!

and india is the future by the way, not the green righteous rainbow refugee receiving woke eu, they are heading for a grim future as russia tightens the thumbscrews and the asian giants and america outsmart them economically. the uk needs to distance itself as far as possible from the suicidal eu, and align with the usa and the wobblies and in their spare time try to keep the chinese onside as well.

unlikely to happen of course at the stupid brits look likely to elect the kneeler, who thinks women have dicks, and his gobshite deputy, the manc single mum fag smoking slapper with more kids than o levels.

god help us.

the country is in a mess thanks in no small part to the obstructive tactics of the politically motivated blob, egged on by the human rights briefs, the army of silly climate wokesters, and the meathead commies running the dinosaur unions with all of them looking at the situation through a distorted prism of racism, white guilt and hatred.

I rather think the country is in a mess because it has in effect voted into power on a consecutive basis 1) a sexually addicted, sociopathic, pathological liar and narcissist, 2) an inarticulate, economic illiterate who shagged her inept coon lover into the position of chancellor of the exchequer, and a Punjabi immigrant currently trying to sell the country to wogs, as prime minister.

Tax, does Mrs Tax know that you have become quite rabid and deranged?

Did pattaya officials establish a fixed rate for speedboats ? Or is that a bit of topic?

Yes, 300 baht round trip, 150 baht single. Per person.

Are you ok now or do you need counselling?
