I've seen them manage 15m but there was a 7/11 at journey's end.barrys wrote:VincentD wrote: "If your destination is off the beaten track and you don't have your own wheels or someone to fetch you off hours you're not going anywhere. Unless it's walking distance."

Re: Motor Cycles in Hua Hin
Fair comment VD I was counting tuk tuks and motorbike taxis, songthaews etc as public transport and areas such as HH, Samui, Phuket, Chumporn rather than Issan where I have never been. That said I doubt there is much of a bus service on Dartmoor at 2am

Another thing to bear in mind is that the 150 bt that it costs to get from our local town to the village in Issan by tuk-tuk is a days pay to a casual farm labouror, so it's cheaper to go on your families 10 year old Honda Wave.

In my GFs vilage they've got the usual mom and pop shops but once a month or so you'll have about 10 of them piled up in a pick-up (500 baht for the driver) on a big shop down to the Surin Big C or Tesco.
