Becareful when you take the songteaws or baht bus in Pattaya. Try to sit inside to minimize the impact in any accidents. Don't stand on the metal cage that is suspended behind on both sides of the songteaw. There are many drunk tourists and crazy Thai drivers driving around dangerously.

The medically intoxicated driver of the jeep rammed into the rear of the songteaw severing her legs killing her (RIP)...
Have fun but stay safe in Thailand!
