Getting to Bangkok
Bangkok is one of Asia's most important air transport hubs. The easiest, fastest and most interesting way to get around is on the waterways of the Chao Phraya River where numerous river taxis, long-tail boats and large waterbuses make most tourist sites easily reachable.
Bangkok is notorious for the huge volume of traffic and traffic jams, but this has eased slightly over the years with the introduction of the elevated monorail, the Skytrain, which currently has two lines running above Bangkok's central areas and provides a much quicker and easier alternative to the bus.
Any taxi or tuk tuk can be hired for a day's tour of the sights. If in a desperate rush during gridlock, motorcycle taxis can be hired, which are cheaper and faster.
