Transportation in thailand

Think of this: you arrive at Bangkok, have the address of your destination but don’t know which transport will suit your purpose and pocket! Today we give you a list of Thai transportation vehicles, which have connected the most remote areas of every city and smaller towns too.

Thanks to the BTS or the famous Sky train services, now you can reach places in 15 minutes which would have previously taken about an hour. Thus, it is undoubtedly the easiest way to escape the ever growing traffic of Bangkok.

The Tuk Tuk is yet another patent of Bangkok, which is a sweet looking 3 wheeled side open auto rikshaw which travels at its own pace letting the swift cars past by easily. You must try this when you are in the mood to explore the city at leisure, but definitely not when you are in a mad rush.

Songthaew is yet another mode of transportation, found in Thailand. It is a mini bus that can comfortably accommodate 30 persons. Being open fro the rear side, it is easy to get on and off in busy traffic areas. To get out of the bus you can just press a button or thump at the roof and the driver will halt to let you out. Remember, the fare is negotiable on a Songthaew.

Taxi’s, though a bit costlier, are fast and smooth. The fare is according to the meter and thus, no chance of you being cheated.

Next time you are in Thailand make sure to try almost all kinds of commuting vehicles ‘coz each is unique in its own way.
