Tuk-tuks: Tuk tuk drivers
  • Tip Rating:
  • Beware of some of the tuk tuk drivers. On the pretext of taking you to some of the places that you want to visit or suggest that they take you on a sightseeing tours, they will take you to some gemshops etc. where you might probably get scammed.

    Also, try to avoid taking the motorcycle taxis - they are pretty reckless drivers weaving in and out of traffic. No point putting your life at risk. Always take the BTS or Subway to avoid getting into a traffic jam rather than depending on the motorcycle taxis.

     Thanks for the precise directions to Wat Arun. By the way, the boat prices have changed. The trip from Central Pier (near Saphan Taksin BTS) to Tha Tien pier costs 15Baht; the one to cross over to Wat Arun costs 3.5Baht.
