Some Tips On Traveling Around Thailand
Whenever you visit a foreign country, such as Thailand, it can take some time to get used to their transportation methods. Knowing what to expect before you arrive can help in figuring out what a Tuk Tuk is, versus deciding if you're better off hailing a motorcy.Thailand Transportation: How to Get Around
In Thailand, there are many different choices for your traveling needs. Depending on where you want to go, you shouldn't have a problem finding the right means to arrive there comfortably. Here are some of the popular means of Thailand transportation.
Motorcy - A motorcy is what the locals call the motorbike taxis. Since Thailand's cities, like Bangkok, can get congested with rush hour traffic, a motorcy is a common means for tourists to get around. They can make their way a little quicker trough the traffic and they're one of the most inexpensive means of travel. A word of caution - keep your knees tucked close to the bike!
Limousine - If you want to get around in style during your Thailand travel, then there are plenty of limousine services for your traveling needs. One of the costlier forms of travel, it's also the most comfortable. Your Thailand hotel can help you get a limo if you need assistance.
Taxi - Taxis are a common fixture throughout Thailand. If you need one, simply keep an eye out, for one will be passing by soon. Taxi tip - Make sure the taxi has a working meter before entering and never use a taxi that's sitting idle or accept rides from taxi drivers who come up to you asking if you need a taxi. Stick only with taxis you see driving on the road during a Thailand vacation.
Taxis are very cheap, from Suvarnambhumi Airport you can get taxi for 400 BHT ( 12 USD, 9 EUR) till Sukhumvit Soi 3.
SkyTrain - In Bangkok, the newly constructed SkyTrain offers locals and tourists alike the travel solution they've been waiting for. This futuristic, suspended train system quickly takes passengers to their destinations instead of sitting in the traffic below. It's not uncommon for passengers to get to their destination up to two hours earlier using SkyTrain. It si very cheap and fast, for 20 - 40BHT.
Tuk Tuk - Tuk Tuks, or motorized rickshaws, are a fun way to get around Thailand. With a passenger cabin perfect for two, Tuk Tuks can also be a romantic way to travel. However, they're not the greatest place to be if you're stuck in traffic, so it's best to use Tuk Tuks only before or after the rush hour.
Car Rental - If you want to go it alone outside of your Thailand hotel then a car rental may be for you. Most of the big name car rental companies have offices throughout Thailand, so you won't have a problem finding a car rental you can trust. Your hotel can probably provide you with information for Thailand car rentals.
For start I can offer you some really low prices of hotels in Bangkok...
