The three-wheeled, open-air 'tuk-tuk' is a common sight in Thailand and can be found in Chanthaburi as well for short trips within the city.
These are pickup trucks with benches in the back that operate like shared taxis. They run fixed routes and are a cheap way to travel short distances within the province or between nearby towns.
Renting a car or motorbike gives you the freedom to explore Thailand at your own pace. There are several rental shops in the provinces where you can rent vehicles for daily or longer-term use.
For short distances within the town, motorbike taxis are a common and convenient option.
Thailand, a dreamy beachside paradise, is a country that has managed to retain its cultural integrity in spite of being a major tourist destination.
Getting around Bangkok by Bus
Tuk tuks or sam lor (3-wheeled) used to be everyone's favourite way of getting around Bangkok before the BTS, MRT and colourful taxis took over.
Hua Lamphong, or Bangkok Train Station, is the main terminal to northern, eastern, northeastern and southern Thailand.
The Bangkok Airport Rail Link connects downtown Bangkok with Suvarnabhumi International Airport and is a smart alternative to the airport’s express buses or taxis.
Mo Chit Bus Terminal is one of the biggest bus stations in Bangkok. It connects the northern, central, eastern and north-eastern provinces of the city, as well as linking the city to neighbouring countries.
Cycling in Bangkok takes you pedalling off the well-beaten tourist track and beyond.
