Transport / Motorcycle Taxis
Motorcycle
taxis are a unique Thai innovation and a direct product of the
constant traffic jams of Bangkok. If one wants to take the risk
of entrusting one's life to a speeding Thai youngster, riding
on the back of motorcycles is the one way to get around in Bangkok
quickly. Fares are about one third of what an equal distance would
cost on a taxi.
The drivers
wait with their cycles at street corners. Usually, they
can easily be recognized by their vests which most of the time
show a large number.
Motorcycle
taxis often are the only means of public transportation in side
streets. Usually, there are standard fares for side street trips,
mostly around 5 Baht.
