Really? I've never seen a pinkie bus doing anything outrageous - mostly quite the opposite.

You'd be surprised how widely I travel, Rod. And I am willing to bet that I see more of Phuket than most. The average person usually goes from home to work and their habits seldom vary. We actually go out of our way to visit places we haven't seen or haven't been for a while. The ''office'' goes with me. It's called mojo - mobile journalism. We can upload articles and photos wherever we are in the world these days, although generally I'd prefer not to work from a car seat or a bus seat. On Phuket, we're close by the ''pinkie bus'' route and a day wouldn't pass when I don't see at least a few of them. As a trained observer, I reckon my ability to make accurate judgements is reasonably refined and better than most. You may be surprised to learn there are both good and bad bus and minivan drivers on Phuket. Damning them all is foolish. Better to gain an accurate impression of the world and what's happening.

I do hope that answer meets your high standards of inquiry.

You organ donors should hold onto the bus for a free ride.
