My first impression of Bangkok was that it is very busy. There are cars, buses and motorbikes everywhere.
Highlight of my stay in Bangkok was the
- chatuchuk markets (i hope i spelt that right)—the biggest markets I've ever seen in my life
- of course the golden palace
- the food
Quick Tips:
Tips - well make sure that when you get into a taxi, that the driver uses the meter. If he doesn't, then get into another.
Make sure that you negotiate a price before hopping into a Tuk-Tuk. Tuk-Tuk are great for short distances, Taxi's are better for the longer rides, plus you get air-conditioning. Sometimes the short taxi rides are cheaper than getting a tuk-tuk.
Best Way To Get Around:
The BTS skyway is pretty handy. Very convenient from getting to places and plus you don't get stuck in traffic. It's always air-conditioned (sometimes a bit too cold!).
