Thailand: How to get around within Country

There are several different types of transportation in Thailand that you might want to know to make your visit hassle free in the country.

Bangkok, the capital city of Thailand has been choked with traffic congestion for years. However, the addition of the futuristic Sky Train in the city made tourists and locals alike get to where they need in a fraction of time as to what was previously possible. With train depots near the most popular Thailand hotels in Bangkok, the Sky Train is definitely a transportation choice worth making.

Limousines are available in Thailand to get you where you want to go in style. Some Limo services offer bonus cards, where once you collect enough stamps, you can get a free one-way trip to your next destination.

One of the most easily accessible forms of transportation in Thailand, taxi, is popular among tourists and is usually one of the more cost efficient means of travel. It's important to beware of people who come up to you asking if you want a taxi or taxis sitting idle. These people should be avoided as they are usually scam artists. Simply hail a taxi driving down the road; it won't be hard to find one.

Motorcycle/motorbike taxi- These can be a fun, inexpensive alternative to hailing a taxi. They can efficiently get you through traffic and to your destination in no time, just watch your knees and be sure to wear a helmet!

Tuk Tuks - Also known as motorized rickshaws or cabin cycles, Tuk Tuks can be a fun way to get around the city on your Thailand vacation. During rush hour, they should be avoided because of their open door cabins that allow exhaust fumes from other cars into the passenger area.
