Getting TO/AROUND: When you visit Bangkok you should travel around in a TUK TUK. The formerly motorized saamlor is rapidly becoming a piece of history in Bangkok, although they can still always be found near tourist sites. They are best for short journeys as they are uncomfortable and, being open to the elements, you are more than likely to suffer from the fumes.

Bargaining is essential and the fare must be sorted out before boarding. The driver may try and take you to shops, do not be persuaded, you could be there for a long time. The shops pay the TUK TUK drivers for every customer they bring. I've heard of travellers being taken to a carpet shop and been shown loads of carpets and they found it very hard to leave.
