List of popular means of transportation for Thai tourists

Let’s take a look at the top popular public transport that you can choose from in your upcoming trip to Thailand !

Tuk-Tuk 

Tuk-Tuk is also known as the “Xam Ló” car and this is a type of public transport with the most affordable price in Thailand. Tuk-tuk is quite popular used by people here and at the same time it is also a popular means of transportation for tourists because of its level of comfort.

The streets in Thailand are characterized by being quite wide, so that tuk-tuks often move fast promising to bring you a “yomost” feeling. However, a small note for you is that this type of vehicle is only suitable for traveling within 10km because sitting for a long time can make you tired and quite shocked.

Taxi 

The next most popular means of transportation that you can easily find when traveling to Thailand is taxi. The special thing about taxis of Thailand is that they are extremely colorful such as pink, blue, purple, red, yellow ,… looks very eye-catching.

The fare when taking a taxi in Thailand will be quite expensive, the opening price is 35 baht for the first 2 km. After that, each kilometer will be calculated in an increase of about 5 baht. In case of traffic jams, you will have to pay a surcharge of about 1.25 baht per meter traveled. Therefore, please agree in advance with the driver about the price if you do not want to press the meter.

Songthaew 

Songthaew is a type of transportation vehicle with 2 rows of seats along the body and about the middle of the legroom, they are quite similar to lam cars in Vietnam. There have been many people who have confused this type of car with a Tuk-Tuk but they differ in that the tuk-tuk will have forward-facing seats and only carry very few people. In contrast, Songthaew buses can transport more people and will be run along the same route as buses. This is a great means of travel to Thailand because the cost is quite low, you only cost 10 Baht to get from one side of town to the other.

Tàu điện ngầm MRT

The MRT is a type of transportation built to support people to travel to destinations that cannot be reached by the BTS system. And of course, the routes that the MRT traverses are also different from the BTS skytrain.

Both BTS and MRT’s systems will start operating from 6 a.m. until the night. So visitors can enjoy fun and excursions without having to worry about being late for the train or not having a train to return.

Bus

Touring Thailand, visitors can easily see the image of “big” buses decorated in many colors with many eye-catching motifs appearing in all corners. There are not only intra-city bus routes but also buses in Thailand that transport groups of visitors to visit and travel.

The bus will be an extremely reasonable choice for those who want to save money but can freely travel everywhere. However, there is still something quite inconvenient that you can encounter when traveling by bus that is that the bulletin boards on the bus are completely written in Thai.

Thus, Vietnam Tourism has shared with you all information about popular means of transportation in the Thailand tour. Please consider choosing for yourself the most suitable means of transportation to explore the beauty of Thailand!
