Plan Your Trip

Getting Around

Flights, rails, buses, boats, BTS/MRT, Grab, and when a private driver is worth it.

Between cities

Domestic flights are cheap on sale weeks. Trains are slower and better for the scenery (Bangkok–Chiang Mai overnight). Buses and vans cover everything else. Boats are weather-dependent. Book the first and last ferry with margin.

In cities

Bangkok: BTS, MRT, river boats, Grab. Chiang Mai and smaller cities: songthaew, Grab, motorbike only if you are a confident rider — accidents are the main tourist medical story. Never assume your travel insurance loves motorbikes.

Notes to expand

  • Grab is easier than arguing with taxis
  • Airport Rail Link / high-speed projects: update as they open
  • Helmet if you ride; many policies exclude bikes
  • Keep a screenshot of your hotel pin
