One of the most popular means of transport in the city are motorcycles with a side-car. They are cheaper than a taxi. If you do not want to spend money or if you get caught in a heavy monsoon rain, you can go wherever you want. Of course, bear in mind that they go like crazy, so if you get scared easily, do not take it. In short, it is a good alternative to get around the city and also is exciting ...
Songthaews are a common form of transportation not only in Thailand, but throughout Southeast Asia as well. You might describe them as being the "big brother" of the famous tuk-tuks. The front is a motorbike, but the back is a box with benches that are usually padded and lined with imitation leather or plastic. Prices depend on distance and haggling.
I'm sorry to say but Bangkok has been a total scam. As soon as we got here tuk Tuk asked us for 300 bth to our hotel and we only paid 70bth with meter taxi.
Next day we got in a tuk Tuk and they waste your time taking you to places that they make commission on.
Like Taylor suites and jewelry factory :(. They follow u around and tell you things are closed and try change all your plans. Not very nice.. And not just trying to make a living by slightly raising the price.
