Silom Road, Bangkok’s nightlife district, is the most expensive area to buy land in Bangkok, followed by Phloen Chit Road, according to data the Treasury Department gathered from 2016-2019.

Despite the risk of punishment, many operators continue to operate – given that the price of the fines are so low, according to a police officer at the No.2 Traffic Police Station in the city. “There are more outside cars these days.

A total of 49 offenses had been recorded in January, according to data from the police.

He said that other buses or vehicles, with the exemption of taxis, should not be permitted. - Translated ... » Learn More about Unlicensed buses still a popular option for Yangonites
