Guides for Bangkok, Thailand
Knowing Bangkok
Bangkok is the capital city located in the central of Thailand. Bangkok divided into two main zone which are Phranakorn area and the Thonburi area. These two zones are divided by the Chaophraya river. And yes! the amazing sceneric are mainly along the river as most of the cultures are nourishing on two sides. The tourist place like temple, park, and market are the "must visit" place where you can save up your money for your next luxury beach trip elsewhere in Thailand.
Must be noted!
- Thailand is hot and humid.
- There are many mosquitos and insects.
STAY HYDRATED AND USE INSECTS REPELLENT!
Transportation
Transportation in Bangkok is the most convenient among all the provinces in Thailand. There are many public transportation as well as the rental driver. According to my experience, I will not suggest you to rent your own motorbike or car to drive in Bangkok because the traffic around here are CRAZY!
BTS/MRT/ARL
BTS is the sky train, MRT is the subway/underground/metro, ARL is the airport rail link. There are many BTS or MRT stations that directly straight to the tourist place without walking a long distance where the ARL will connects from Suvarnabhumi airport to the city area. The price are varied around 1-3 USD depends on number of the stations and which line are you taking. There are now 9 lines connecting you from airport directly to the city.
As you can see, the plane sign on the right corner is the Suvarnabhumi airport and the one on the top corner represents the Don mueang airport.
Boat
You can also book the river cruise which will take you for a river tour while eating dinner. The price can range between 20 - 85 USD while the trip are around 1 hour 30 min to 3 hours depending on the type of boat.
Bus
Is another public transportation which I will not recommend, due to the unsystematic and the crowds on the bus. So you might want to see Taxi as the option.
Tuk Tuk
TukTuk is another recommend transportation that you must try especially when you go nearby the tourist spot on the Thonburi side. It is fun to get the ride at night so that it will not be too hot.
Taxi
Bangkok taxis are recommended for a non rush hour. The taxis can sometimes be very tricky and charge you not according to the meter. However, it is the most convenient way to commute for people who doesn't like to read map or get lost all the time.
Vans and Coach to other provinces
If you are planning the trip to other places in Thailand also, the Bus stations are at Morchit, Victory Monument, and Ekkamai. For the famous beach like Pattaya, Koh larn, Koh chang, or any other beaches on the eastern side of Thailand, the bus station will be found at Ekkamai BTS station on the exit 2.
