Tuktuks or the customized motorcycle driven cabs accommodating around 2-4 people. There are bigger tuktuks but the average size can carry max of 4 people.

Define your destination and haggle your way to an acceptable price. You can find them everywhere in Bangkok. Some are lined up in streets (or sois) or you can flag one down by waving your hand. Most speak a little English so they can understand your destinations. You can also ask a hotel concierge or friend to write your destination in Thai.

Always haggle. Tuktuks are open sided so bring an umbrella during rainy season.

You can always tell the driver to SLOW down if they feel like Mr. Evel Knievil.
