00:00The traffic in Bangkok is horrible, and the fastest way to get around is a motorcycle.
00:05But did you know that the people who wear those orange vests, do you know how much those
00:10vests can cost?
00:11They can go up to 800,000 baht.
00:14For example, in high-demand zones like Aseo, vests sell for 800,000 baht.
00:19In other areas like Klang Toei or Chong Law, prices range from 350,000 to 400,000 baht.
00:27Even smaller neighborhoods can cost tens of thousands of baht.
00:30Why so expensive?
00:32The high costs stem from underground fees, often linked to corrupt officials.
00:37Drivers must also pay monthly maintenance fees just to operate.
00:40Maybe that's why you often see the news of motorcycle taxi guys fuming over newer surfaces,
00:46where there are applications where you can call for drivers on your phone for cheaper
