  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • 'Mode': TO,AROUND
    Category: Train
    Getting TO/AROUND: Bring a map along with you, because the cab driver might not know his way! =) Never take a cab during the BANGKOK JAM, cos you might stuck in the Bangkok Jam for hours!
    Bangkok Jam will start from 4pm onwards until 8pm

    1. Make sure that the cab is running on Meter.
    2. Bring along your map
    3. Get as much information as you can before starting your destination. So that you can have some idea which area you might pass by before arriving your destination.
    4. Bring along your map with Thai words.

  • 'Mode': TO,AROUND
    Category: Train
    Getting TO/AROUND: During the bangkok Jam, the best transportation will be Skytrain. No Jam & with air-con... =)

    Do ask your destination before you board the train. Make note of the interchange stations. To get the ticket from the ticket machine, do prepare some coins. Traveller could get a 100 Baht travel card (a day) to travel to any places with skytrain.
