'Mode': AROUND
Category: Bus
Getting TO/AROUND: A cheap way to get around Bangkok is by local bus.The ordinary red or blue buses are o.k for short distance rides.However ,they can get extreamly crowded and hot when you are stuck in a traffic jam during peak hour. Air-con buses are more comfortable they cost a little more (blue buses) depending on the destination.There are also Micro buses which charge a fix fare but you get a seat. As for the small private" Green" buses get on them at your own risk.

Getting TO/AROUND: No trip to Bangkok is complete without a spin in the classic Tuk Tuk.They are O.K. for short trips but for longer trips they can be fairly dangerous depending on your driver.Furthermore,It's no fun getting cought in a traffic jam in a Tuk Tuk as the combanation of heat and pollution on the roads can really get to you.They are a fun way to get around but you have to bargain for the fare and they can be a rip off for tourists.Especially the ones that hang around temples and hotels.
