Converted pick-up trucks called songthaews serve as local buses during daylight hours. Each Songthaew's destination is clearly marked in English on the front and sides of the vehicle. Songthaews can usually be found in Nathon taking people from the ferries, but there are no official stops around the island. Just flag down the first one you see, and tell the driver where you would like to go. The furthest journey, i.e. from Nathon to Chaweng, should cost no more than 30 baht per person and shorter trips a bit less. Songthaews do run at night, but fares increase sharply after 6pm, so should you wish to charter a vehicle late at night from Chaweng or Lamai to outlying areas such as Maenam, the fare could urn as high as several hundred baht. Generally speaking at night, the moue people who are already in a Songthaew, the cheaper it will be.
