Plot
The chaos ensues on Songkran day (13 April) when the disappointed security Sap wants to return home to see his little daughter. He got on the bus line 39 (Rangsit–Sanam Luang) with Laa as a driver and Go as a bugging conductor. When he gets off the bus but Laa refuses to follow and takes issue with parking for other passengers. With pressure Sap decided to impulsively hijack, where the whole cab is filled with various types of passengers. And then on the way Laa received a penalty from Sap. The bus doesn't have a driver. Koh came to drive instead of Laa to park between the gas stations. In the end, the story ended well because everyone forgave Sap for warning the driver.
