Thailand is a modern country with a modern public transport network. The country has an extensive range of airports and its domestic air routes make even the farthest flung corners of the kingdom accessible to the visitor. Thailand also has an excellent road and rail system complemented by a very cost-efficient urban bus services and an intercity bus and coach system that links the entire country and provides even the most advanced countries with a genuine definition of efficiency and convenience. But where the public transport system doesn’t reach, the entrepreneurs take over and imagination kicks in. As a result, there are some pretty unique methods of transport on offer. What follows is an overview of some of the types of transportation you might experience on your trip to Thailand. Airport linkThe Suvarnabhumi International Airport and the Don Mueang International Airport in Bangkok are important gateway to Thailand. There are daily flights to Europe, North America, Asia and Australasia. Thailand has an extended domestic flights network which connect most important cities directly or via Bangkok
SkytrainTravel by train is surely a pleasant way to travel around the country; The largest railway station and gateway to most of Thailand is the Hua Lamphong station in Bangkok, located near the intersection of Rama IV and Krung Kasem.
The Mass Rapid Transit Authority (of Thailand), or MRTA (or usually just MRT) is a work of engineering genius. Although at present there’s only one line, the MRT takes you from northern Bangkok (Bang Sue – near a railway connection) to just south of the centre (Hua Lum Phong – Bangkok’s main railway station) at a phenomenal rate.
The BTS descended on Bangkok as would a divine entity, restoring order from chaos, and improving the life and conditions of all. Bangkok’s traffic was always bad, and of course the years it took to build the BTS made the traffic even worse, but the inconvenience was worth it – the BTS is a godsend.
TaxiThe ‘Taxi-Meter’ To hire a Tuk-Tuk you have to negotiate the price with the driver. Often, the Tuk-Tuk is not cheaper than a taxi, especially on shorter journeys. Motorcycle taxis always wear a vest which identifies where they are permitted to base their operations, and with a number on their back which is unique to the individual. 360 VideoBest view: smartphone tablet for Virtual Reality effect Tips: 2.
