Public transport

I have already laid out something in my articles. But it's okay if I repeat myself, let everything be in one place. As a rule, tuk-tuk (types of motorcycles with a sidecar), sang-teo (pickups, where there are benches in the back), something like a mini-
buses (can be based on anything), and regular buses from old (short distances) to new and comfortable (between cities). In some cities, tuk-tuk or sang-teo may look different, so they are made on the basis of other units. I wrote about public transport here - Bangkok Metro, Bangkok Bus Stations, Bangkok Railway Stations

Buses

Small buses, often old, run for short distances. However, some of them have air conditioning. Such buses are also used for movement within the city, but there are also modern ones. Sometimes there are minivans on some routes. Between cities, for long distances, there are comfortable buses with air conditioning and a toilet (often double-decker), where there is vip, 1st and 2nd class. Classes do not differ significantly among themselves - seat width, food, speed of movement and the presence of a toilet.

Minibuses, sang-teo

Sang-teo are covered pickups with seats made inside. It is the most popular form of transport in the city and the surrounding suburbs. Larger units can also go, in the form of trucks, where the body is redone for passengers. Usually the fare costs about 20 baht (20r) inside the city, or a little higher if further.

Knock knock in Thailand

Tuk-tuks are usually made on the basis of a sidecar motorcycle. Only the stroller is not from the side, but from the back or front. Mostly tourists move on them, as this is the most expensive type of transport. The knock knock can also be in the form of a small car. The fare starts from 100 baht (100r), as you bargain.

Mototaxi

They are not found everywhere, but also often. Usually they carry 1-2 passengers for a short distance and cost 50 baht (50r).

Old cars

For some reason, I have a special love for old cars (this does not apply to Russians). But not to those who were at the beginning of the last century, but rather in its second half. One of my favorites is a 60s Ford Mustang. Of course, I did not see him in Tai, but something similar happened. Moreover, I do not know either the names or characteristics, I just like to look at them.

Modern machines

Since there are many farmers, workers in Thailand, as well as unpaved roads off-piste, the most popular cars here are pickups. When I first came to the vegetable market, I immediately thought, if only our summer residents and collective farmers would envy the Thais. They drive around on Toyota ...

Toyota Hilux is one of the most popular cars

Unaccustomed to us

In Thailand, as in any other country, there are various means of transportation that are not typical of our country. Some of these are for tourists, some for locals.

Motorbikes

The most popular way to move. First week in Chiang Mai we wondered where the sidewalks were, where the pedestrians were ... And that's why, there is no need to walk when there is a bike. And how they go there is a separate song, 3-4 people each, with bags and trunks. Sometimes even the driver is not visible behind the things..
