Transport around Thailand, it's like …?

I wondered about the cost and hours involved in training or pickup schools around Thailand, and is the best option? Keep in mind I do not want to spend my holidays pass, I thought of Kanchanaburi (for Tiger Temple, River Kwai experience, Elephant Sanctuary) and down to do some diving for novices and island hopping. Also, is it a good idea for two chicks, which have never been abroad before, to fly to Bangkok and just see where they go from here? We thought maybe the head of a local travel agent for a few trips to the North right or our own way to work, then to the south.

Well I took the bus several times. The bus leaves north out of the Mo Chit station, which is a large bus station, but I have no difficulty in buying tickets or travel from there. Mochi is the end of the line for the Bangkok Sky Train 35Bt TSB and the city center is about 100BT taxi. When you arrive at the station and walk through the door were several guys will ask you want to go and take you to the ticket. Tell them what class and where you go and they will schlep over to the counter. I think the coach is 525Bt bus (no air conditioning). The first class bus is 800Bt (baht) or about $ 26 in one direction and the bus was clean and they serve a snack, a coke and water on the road. They show a film in Thai and you get a blanket and pillow. Travel from Bangkok to Phanom That Phanom / Nakhorn in the northeast corner of Thailand 735 km. The Bus to Chiang Mai is about 696 km the same as NP. The bus is 12 hours and they usually leave 4-18 am and arrive at their destination at different times, but NP about 5 am. They also prevent in Korat in a bus staion where you can buy snacks and drinks about 23:00. Railway noise interesting but it does not go to Nakhon Phanom so I had. The planes are the same as a nice suburban flight in the United States. My last flight was 130 NP $ U.S.. As for Part Two chicks, no problem, I suggest you enter the north and booking your excursions as it will be cheaper. I was torn by tour operators Bangkok, because they show you one thing and when you get there its another. If you go to Chang Mai, you will have the best price in town. Below is an intro to Transportation in Thailand and a little info on buses and trains.

Bangkok Canals and Temple of Dawn Tour $37.26 A canal (klong) tour along Bangkoks legendary Chao Phraya River and in the Thonburi area is one of the most interesting ways to discover the traditional charms of this city, known as the Venice of the East. Thonburi lies across the Chao Phraya river and tours on longtail boats around its numerous klongs (canals) are popular. It was briefly Thailand’s capital in the 18th century after the fall of Ayutthaya, until King Rama I moved his court across the river to Bangkok. Bangkoks waterways are an integral part of the citys landscape and offer a visitor fascinating glimpses into the traditional Thai way of life.

Bangkok $16.99 BANGKOK Bangkok is synonymous with lively chaos but Thailand’s great metropolis is also a compelling experience for the senses and a fascinating city full of contrast.We begin our sightseeing tour early in the morning about a hundred kilometres south west of the city centre at the floating market of Damnoen Saduak. Here, men and women travel on the canals by sampan amid a fertile landscape. Fruit, vegetables, flowers and all manner of goods are available and many of the boats have a kitchen in which fresh food is prepared to satisfy hearty appetites.Back in the city we visit some of its most important sights such as the Wat Phra Kaeo, The Temple of the Emerald Buddha, the most important place of worship for the Thai people. Bangkok’s most important landmark is also its most beautiful temple complex, a wonderful work of art comprising numerous splendid buildings. Today the Royal Grand Palace is used for national ceremonies and coronations. During the city’s early years it was originally built as a residence for King Rama. The magnificent residence of the former god king shines out in all the typical splendour and elegance of the Far East, a Siamese heaven on Earth!In the 19th century Bangkok contained several canals known as ‘Klongs’ and most of them have subsequently been replaced with streets but a few have survived. Travelling on the canals is a wonderful way to take in the sights and for centuries life on the city’s waterways has changed very little.Bangkok is a typical Asian city with much exotic hustle, bustle and excitement. It is truly a city that never sleeps! Source: Travel Video Store
