Tuk-tuks: Tuk-tuk
  • Tip Rating:
  • 'Mode': AROUND
    Category: Other
    Getting TO/AROUND: Perhaps my most favorite mode of transport in Thailand was the tuk-tuk. It's so much fun to take. However, try using it only for short distances and/or during non-heavy traffic times of the day or your lungs will be paying for it as you breathe in all the exhaust and pollution from the other vehicles on the road.

    This shot was taken as my driver zoomed from the World Trade Center down to my hotel on the other side of Silom Rd.

    Don't forget to negotiate the cost of the fare before you get in. And sometimes, the tuk-tuk can cost as much as a taxi.

    River and Canal Boats: Chao Phraya Express
  • Tip Rating:
  • 'Mode': AROUND
    Category: Ship/Boat
    Getting TO/AROUND: For only 75 Bht (approx. $2.00), purchase a ticket to board the Chao Phraya Tourist Boat, which will provide you with a one-day opp to visit all the sites located on or near the Chao Phraya River, including the Temple of the Dawn, Wat Pho, the Grand Palace, etc.

    Just note, however, that the tourist boat stops running at 3pm, so you'll have to take a Chao Phraya Express Boat back as it stops running later (7:30pm).
