Getting Around Thailand

To get to Thailand and also to move about the country, flying is the most convenient method. A number of domestic careers service all the major cities within the country. Also, if you are planning to travel to other countries in Southeast Asia, booking your flight within Thailand is considerably cheaper. You may want to think about this option if you are not traveling during heavy tourist season when most flights should be available.

Train is also another option for those wishing to cut costs. Train services connect Bangkok to all regions of the country at reasonable prices. A regular rail service also runs between Bangkok and all regions of the country for prices that will not stretch your wallet. You will find the rail service to have both air-conditioned and open-air carts. Advance tickets are available at all principal stations or the Bangkok Railway Advance Booking Office at Tel : 0-2220-4444.
