Public Transport in Bangkok
Bangkok is a city with notably congested roads, which until a decade ago most visitors to the city negotiated in taxis and tuk-tuks. Things have moved on now with the Thai authorities having invested heavily in public transport system which are fast and efficient and, increasingly, ‘in the know visitors’ to Bangkok are using taxis and tuk-tuks less and less in favour of quicker and normally cheaper public transport options. Not everywhere is currently connected by rapid pubic transport systems in Central Bangkok, but with some thought and effort you can save a lot of money and time by using a combination of different forms of public transport to get around the city.
