Thailand Transportations

Thailand is a culturally rich country located in Southeast Asia and has attracted numerous foreign visitors with its pristine beach, lush green tropical forest, and complicated luxurious Buddhist temples. However, for every traveler, transportation is one of the biggest concerns before planning a trip to a foreign country. Let's see the main transport modes in Thailand with BestPrice Travel in the ultimate guide below!

1. Tuk Tuk

Tuk Tuk is one of the most popular means of transportation in Thailand. This is a unique motorized 3-wheeled rickshaw that can carry from two to three passengers to go around the city. There is a large number of tuk-tuks in the cities of Thailand - more than 35,000 tuk-tuks, especially you can see this vehicle is so common in Bangkok because tuk-tuks are mainly run in this bustling city. Many tourists love to try tuk-tuks, so the price of a ride may be quite expensive. Make sure you bargain a fair price before using the service.

2. Taxi

Taxi is a convenient transportation in Thailand that you should try if you want a short transfer to a specific location. This means of transportation is also a good way to travel if you cannot get used to the hot atmosphere of Thailand in the hot season and prefer a comfortable transfer with air conditions. Moreover, taxis are not expensive as tuk-tuks, so it’s highly recommended to use this transportation to travel in Thailand.
