Get Around Bangkok

Get Around Bangkok

1. Taxi

Taxis are by war the most convenient, cheapest, and most comfortable way to get around Bangkok.

Taxis that have the light on at the front are available and you can wave at them.

Always make sure they put the meter on. Don't negotiate any price, unless you're in a rush. If they tell you a price and refuse to put the meter, close the door and wait for the next one.

Now, if you don't want to deal with taxis in the street, or have a hard time to explain where you go, you can use Grab Taxi (the local version of Uber)

2. BTS / MRT

The BTS, also called Skytrain, is the main transport system in Bangkok.

Really convenient, clean, and fast, it's worth a ride and it's often the fastest way to get around the city center.

But if you got a group, it will often cost you more to take the BTS than to share a taxi.

The same goes for the MRT, Bangkok Metro System.

 3. Moto Taxi

Motorbike Taxis are not the safest way to get around but they're the best way to cover short distances and to get to the nearest BTS Station.

Prices to common destinations are listed where the guys are, but in Thai. So ask for the price before you get on it, or you might have a surprise when you arrive at the destination.

 4. Tuk Tuk

Tuk Tuks are not the cheapest way to get around, but they're the most iconic and fun.

Negotiate first, and don't forget to take pictures.

Oh and remember that you can easily fit 5/6 people or more.
