Even if the traffic in Bangkok is terrible, getting around the city is a breeze. There are many different forms of public transportation that you can use to quickly get to all the different neighbourhoods. You can hop on the Skytrain and literally zoom across the sky (it is a train that moves along a raised track way up high overlooking the city). You can instead go underground and take the Metro (a train that moves along a track below ground). Or you can get around Bangkok by speeding along the Chao Phraya River on a express river boat.

This form of public transportation is a great way to quickly see all the homes, hotels and temples that line the river. It is also a lot of fun to feel the wind rush into your face as the boat speeds up and down the murky water of the river. The best part of the trip is that it will just cost you 14 baht, or 50 cents. Now that is a deal!

Good thing the plastic guard is in place, or else all us passengers would
be getting splashed by that brown river water. |
