It hasn't been well publicized. When I was at the airport last December, the bus wasn't easy to locate. I wanted to take it to try it since it had a drop off on patong's beach road. My friend was disgusted by my suggestion. Thai people do not walk down the street dragging luggage. Why was I so low class? Everyone would stare at me. Instead, we took a taxi, and the driver couldn't find his way to one of the largest buildings in the city and we then had to drag our luggage down the road because the driver had missed the soi and couldn't go back.
I am well known to have no love of the Royal Thai Police believing they are institutionally corrupt but I sincerely wish this officer a speedy recovery from his injuries and hope the perpetrators are caught and punished severely. No one should be a victim of violence for just trying to do their job!
