Bangkok

Bangkok, Thailand

Tuk-tuk The name relates to the sound they make. Some resemble modified motorized tricycles, others have four wheels, either way they are noisey and open to exhaust fumes. They are okay for very short distances, but for longer trips you’re better off using an air-conditioned metered taxi. Tuk-tuk’s have no meter and are notorious for overcharging tourists. Alternatively, a quick ride can be part of a hilarious Bangkok experience! Short rides should cost between 10 and 40 Baht.


Most tourists go to Bangkok for shopping, Siam Paragon is only one of the many shopping malls in Bangko.


Wat Arun, a beautiful temple


Wat Arun - Look at the Steep Stairs (similar to the structure of the temples in Angkor Wat, Cambodia)
