Getting Around Thailand
To get to Thailand and also to move about the country, flying is
the most convenient method. A number of domestic careers service
all the major cities within the country. Also, if you are planning
to travel to other countries in Southeast Asia, booking your flight
within Thailand is considerably cheaper. You may want to think about
this option if you are not traveling during heavy tourist season
when most flights should be available.
Train is also another option for those wishing to cut costs. Train
services connect Bangkok to all regions of the country at reasonable
prices. A regular rail service also runs between Bangkok and all
regions of the country for prices that will not stretch your wallet.
You will find the rail service to have both air-conditioned and
open-air carts. Advance tickets are available at all principal stations
or the Bangkok Railway Advance Booking Office at Tel : 0-2220-4444.
Buses are also available as a means of transport to all regions
of the country. Most travel arrangements can be made through all
major hotels and travel agents or at the following bus terminals:
