Getting around

Local transportation in Thailand ranges from good to bad and can be tricky. There is excellent transportation from Bangkok to other parts of the country via bus, train, or domestic plane service, and within the cities via taxi, three-wheeled motorized tuk tuks, bicycle-powered samlors (rickshaws), or songthaews (pick-up trucks with benches for seats).
