There are several modes of transportation in Bangkok, with the automobile being
the most popular. There remains a major problem on Asian countries in their big
cities, like Bangkok, with over-population, traffic congestion and pollution.
Big cities implies greater and variety of transportation services. In Bangkok
Taxis, samlors (three-wheeled taxis), buses, tuk tuk, train, and boats via the
canal and other modes are available. Traveling in Bangkok and exploring the city
is not a difficult task with so many options at hand.
Traveling in external parts of Bangkok and Thailand is possible due to roads
and railways that go from Bangkok to Malaysia, Laos and Kampuchea (Cambodia).
Bangkok's port, which manages most of the imports and exports in Thailand, is
actually a channel that has been made from the mouth of the river located seventeen
miles away. Bangkok is well connected by air, rail and road with other major
cities of the world.
This best way of getting around and avoid traffic congestion, is hire bikes
and cycles. These two wheelers are small and easily navigated. The hindrance
is that only one passenger is allowed. Negotiate a price beforehand, there is
no fixed fee. Domestic air, rail and road transport in Thailand is surprisingly
inexpensive and very easily accessible.
