Thailand Travel Tips - Transportation

Transportation

* Visitors are adviced to only use authorised transportation services (limousines, public taxis or buses) from Bangkok International Airport into the city and other areas. For full information, there is a Transport Service Counter located in the airport's passenger arrival hall.

* Visitors who are unfamiliar with their way around, or who cannot speak Thai are best adviced to use their hotel's taxi service. Also, ask the hotel concierge to write your destination in Thai, as well as your hotel address so that taxi drivers are clear about where you want to go and where you will be returning to. Alternatively, Bangkok's Skytrain e;evated mass transit system, and MRTA Subway offers quick and easy access to major business, shopping and entertainment areas in the city.

* Be wary of unautorised and unsolicited persons offering their services as guides. Use only reliable licensed travel agents for guides or tours. Full information is available from the Association of Thai Travel Agents (ATTA) counters.

* General travel information can be obtained from the TAT counters in the Arrival Hall between 8.00am and 10.00pm. (Tel: 0 2525 8972-3)
