Have noted a couple Pattaya Bloggers bringing attention to a new rule that now forbids standing on the rear step of Pattaya baht buses and can incur a Bt3,000 fine for violation. Apparently new rule made about a month ago and according to said bloggers Pattaya Police have already started fining baht-bus passengers breaking this new rule. Anyone 'on the ground' in Pattaya noticed any change in over-loaded baht-buses or have seen police action? or even come across baht bus drivers cautioning passengers about this new rule?

I use baht-buses quite a bit during a Pattaya visit between Jomtien-South Pattaya and along 2nd/Beach Rd/ Soi Bawkau, so just interested to know if there's any truth behind it, or if it's yet another 'rule' to be ignored.
