Getting around in Bangkok

Getting around in Bangkok can prove perplexing for newly-arrived visitors, but once you become acquainted with the bus system, you can go to just about any place in the city. If you have appointments to keep, allow extra time to cope with the traffic congestion, which occurs during peak hours in several parts of town.

Visitors are recommended to try the Chao Phraya Express Boat System and, if you take to the roads, you will find the metered taxis quite reasonably priced. The Open-Air Motor-Tricycles (called Tuk-Tuk or Sam Lo) are good for short distances if you want to avoid being exposed to automobile exhaust fumes.

The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) sponsors a number of useful publications about Bangkok and the rest of Thailand including its own Holiday Time in Thailand. Tourist publications about the country provide useful information about things to see and to do, along with a useful calendar of festivals and events taking place in Bangkok and throughout the country.
