Bangkok - Bangkok

Bangkok - ulkan shahar, bir nechta shaharlari bor tuman ma'lum joylar, restoranlar va turar joylar haqida ma'lumotni o'z ichiga olgan maqolalar.

Bangkok (Tailandcha: กรุงเทพฯ Krung Thep) ning poytaxti va eng yirik shahri Tailand O'n bir milliondan ziyod aholisi bo'lgan va uning asosiy shahri. Uning ko'p qavatli binolari, tirbandlikdagi tirbandlik, shiddatli issiqlik va yaramas tungi hayot sizni darhol iliq kutib olmaydi - lekin birinchi taassurotingiz sizni yo'ldan ozdirishiga yo'l qo'ymang. Bu muhtasham ibodatxonalar va saroylar, sahih kanallar, band bo'lgan bozorlar va tungi hayotda hamma uchun biron bir narsaga ega bo'lgan Osiyodagi eng kosmopolit shaharlardan biridir.

Ko'p yillar davomida bu Chao Phraya daryosi bo'yidagi kichik savdo punkti bo'lgan, hozirgi Chakri sulolasining birinchi monarxi qirol Rama I uni 1782 yilda Siamning poytaxtiga aylantirmaguncha, Ayutthaya Birma bosqinchilari tomonidan. O'shandan beri Bangkok milliy xazina uyiga aylandi va Tailandning ma'naviy, madaniy, siyosiy, savdo, ta'lim va diplomatik markazi sifatida faoliyat ko'rsatmoqda.

Tumanlar

Bangkok - tungi hayot va ishtiyoq bilan gumburlaydigan ulkan va zamonaviy shahar. Ma'muriy jihatdan 50 ta tumanga bo'lingan (เขต xet), ular 180 ta kichik tumanlarga bo'linadi (แขวง xwaeng), lekin ular ko'pincha rasmiy biznesda va manzillar uchun ishlatiladi. Mehmonlar quyida keltirilgan asosiy yo'nalishlar bo'yicha kontseptual bo'linishni foydali bo'lishadi.

Bangkok atrofida viloyatlari joylashgan Nakhon Pathom g'arbda, Nonthururi shimoli-g'arbda, Patum Tani shimolga, Chachoengsao sharqda, Samut Prakan janubi-sharqda va Samut Sakhon janubi-g'arbiy qismida.

Tushuning

Ekvatordan shimol tomon 14 darajagacha Bangkok tropik metropol bo'lib, u Osiyodagi sayohatchilar uchun eng qulay shaharlardan biri hisoblanadi. Tuyg'ularga g'azablangan hujum, mehmonlar darhol issiqlikni, ifloslanishni, yoqimsiz hidlarni va ko'plab tailandliklar kiyib turadigan tabassum bilan duch kelishadi. Xalqaro shov-shuvli yangiliklar va dastlabki taassurotlarga qaramay, shahar hayratlanarli xavfsiz (mayda jinoyatlardan tashqari) va dastlab paydo bo'lgandan ko'ra uyushgan va to'la yashirin toshlar kashf etilishini kutmoqda. Yuqori nisbiy namlik va iliq harorat tropik o'simliklarning o'sishiga yordam beradi - siz hamma joyda ekzotik orkide va mazali mevalarni topasiz. Bougainvillea va frangipani deyarli butun shahar bo'ylab gullaydi. Tailand oshxonasi haqli ravishda taniqli, xilma-xil va arzon. Bangkok ko'pchilik uchun kvintessensial Osiyo poytaxtini anglatadi. Safrani kiyib olgan rohiblar, chiroyli neon belgilar, Tailandning ajoyib arxitekturasi, achchiq idishlar, rang-barang bozorlar, tirbandliklar va tropik iqlim baxtli tasodifda birlashadi. Shahar haqida faqatgina iliq taassurotlar bilan ketish qiyin.

Tarix

"Bangkok" dastlab Chao Phraya daryosining g'arbiy qirg'og'idagi kichik bir qishloq edi. Yiqilgandan keyin Ayutthaya XVIII asr oxirida Buyuk Taksin Buyuk bu qishloqni Siamning yangi poytaxtiga aylantirdi va uning nomini o'zgartirdi Thonburi. 1782 yilda qirol Rama I poytaxtni daryoning sharqiy qirg'og'iga ko'chirdi Rattanakosin; dastlab shaharning yangi devorlari tashqarisiga ko'chirilgan xitoylar jamoasi joylashgan Yaowarat. Qirol Rama I shaharni nomladi Krung Thep, bu hozirda tailandliklarga ma'lum bo'lgan va ingliz tilida "Angels shahri" deb tarjima qilingan.

To'liq ism "Krung the mahanaxhon amorn ratanakosin mahintharayutthaya mahadilok popnoparat ratchathani burirom udomratchanivetmahasathan amornpiman avatarnsathit sakkathattiyavisnukarmprasit" (กรุงเทพมหานคร อมร รัตนโกสินทร์ ม หิน หิน รา ยุ ธ ยา มหา ดิลก ภพ นพรัตน์ราชธานี บุรี รมย์ อุดม ราช มหา มหา สถาน อมร พิมาน อวตาร สถิต ทัต ติ ติ ยะ วิษณุกรรม ประสิทธิ์ ประสิทธิ์) Ginnesning rekordlar kitobida dunyodagi eng uzun joy nomi sifatida qayd etilgan; inglizcha renderlash quyidagicha bo'ladi: "Farishtalar shahri, buyuk shahar, Zumrad Buddaning qarorgohi, Xudoning Indra xudosi Ayutthaya, dunyoning to'qqizta qimmatbaho toshlar bilan ta'minlangan buyuk poytaxti, baxtli shahar. reenkarnatsiya qilingan xudo hukmronlik qiladigan samoviy makonga o'xshash ulkan Qirollik saroyida, Indra bergan va Vishnukarn tomonidan qurilgan shahar ". Chet elliklar o'zgarishni hech qachon anglamadilar, shuning uchun chet tillarida Krung Thep Bangkok nomini meros qilib oldi, bu uning rasmiy inglizcha nomiga aylandi. Taylandliklar uchun Bangkok nomi sobiq qishloqqa tegishli g'arbiy sohil 1971 yilda Katta Bangkok tarkibiga kiritilgan Chao Phraya.

Hayot suv ustida sodir bo'layotgan edi; oddiy odamlar daryo bo'yidagi bambuk-raflarda yashar edilar, suzuvchi sotuvchilar esa meva-sabzavot sotish uchun suvda aylanib yurishardi. Quruqlikda qurilgan yagona tosh inshootlar ibodatxonalar va saroylar edi. 19-asrda G'arb davlatlari Janubi-Sharqiy Osiyoning katta qismini mustamlaka imperiyalarining tarkibiga kiritdilar. Rama IV va V qirollar Siamni mustaqil saqlashning yagona yo'li mamlakatni Evropa yo'nalishlari bo'ylab modernizatsiya qilish deb hisoblashdi. An'anaviy kanallar to'ldirilib, yo'llarga aylantirildi. Qirol Rama V qirolning qarorgohini ko'chirgan Dusit va ushbu tumanning katta bulvarlarini Evropa yo'nalishi bo'ylab barpo etdi.

Bangkok haqiqatan ham Ikkinchi Jahon Urushidan keyin rivojlana boshladi. Iqtisodiy markaz tartibli rejalashtirilgan Rattanakosin shahridan sharqqa qarab siljib, Bangkokni aniq markazsiz qoldirdi. Bangkok o'zini 80-yillardan boshlab Tailandning yangi sanoatlashgan mamlakat sifatida yangi rolini harakatlantiruvchi kuch sifatida namoyon qildi. Iqtisodiy tez o'sish qishloqlardan migratsiyani jalb qildi, millionlab tailandliklar bu erdan ko'chib ketishdi Isaan tirikchilik qilish uchun va boshqa mintaqalar. Tailand mintaqaning asosiy iqtisodiy markaziga aylanib ulgurganligi sababli, zamonaviy davrda Bangkok qo'shni Myanma, Laos va Kambodjadan ko'plab mehnat muhojirlarini jalb qildi.

Ushbu tezkor kengayish Bangkokni Osiyodagi eng kosmopolit va sodir bo'layotgan shaharlardan biriga aylantirdi; shuningdek, ko'plab muammolarni ta'minladi. Iqtisodiy faoliyatdan foyda ko'radiganlar bilan shaharga qishloqdan ish izlab kelganlar o'rtasida katta bo'shliq paydo bo'ldi. Bangkokda tinimsiz ko'rinadigan tiqilinchlar davom etmoqda, chunki yangi Skytrain va MRT tizimlari ishchilar sinfi uchun juda qimmat. Bog'dagi tutunlardan tanaffus qilish yaxshi g'oya bo'lib tuyuladi, ammo afsuski Bangkok dunyodagi barcha poytaxt shaharlar orasida eng kam yashil maydonga ega.

Manzil va navigatsiya

Bangkokdagi manzillar Tailand manzil tizimidan foydalanadi, bu esa bilmaganlar uchun biroz chalkash bo'lishi mumkin. Silom yoki Suxumvit kabi katta yo'llar thanon (ถนน), ko'pincha qisqartiriladi Th yoki yaltiroq "Yo'l" deb nomlanadi, shu bilan birga ulardan tarvaqaylab ketgan yon ko'chalar deyiladi shunday qilib men (ซอย). Soislar raqamlangan, bir tomonida juft raqamlar, boshqa tomonida toq raqamlar mavjud. Shunday qilib, "25 Sukhumvit Soi 3" kabi manzil Suxumvit yo'lining 3-soiyasida joylashgan 25-sonli uy / bino degan ma'noni anglatadi. Har ikki tomonning soi raqamlari har doim yuqoriga qarab ko'tarilsa, raqamlar ko'pincha ikki tomon o'rtasida bir tekis ko'tarilmaydi - masalan, Soi 55 Soi 36 ning qarshisida bo'lishi mumkin. Ko'p taniqli soislarning qo'shimcha nomi bor, ularni o'rniga ishlatish mumkin raqam. Suxumvit Soi 3 "Soi Nana Nuea" nomi bilan ham tanilgan, shuning uchun yuqoridagi manzil "25 Soi Nana Nuea" sifatida ham ifodalanishi mumkin. Sxumvitning 7, 7/1, 7/2, 9, 11 naqshlarida ko'rinib turganidek / x kengaytmasi mavjud ko'chalar o'rtasida yaratilgan yangi ko'chalar uchun ishlatiladi. trok Soi o'rniga (ตรอก).

Ishlarni biroz murakkablashtirish uchun, Soi Ekkamai (Sukhumvit Soi 63) va Soi Ari (Phahonyothin Soi 7) kabi ba'zi bir katta soislarning o'zlarining soislari bor. Ushbu holatlarda "Ari Soi 3" kabi manzil "Soi Ari shahridan uchinchi soya" degan ma'noni anglatadi va siz "68/2 Ekkamai Soi 4, Sukhumvit Road", ya'ni "68-uy yonidagi 2-uy, Ekkamayning 4-soi, bu Suxumvitning 63-soi ". Ko'plab soislarda uylarning soni shunchaki ko'payib bormaydi, balki atrofga tarqalishi mumkin.

Tailand tilini o'qimaydigan sayyohni yanada hayratda qoldirish uchun Tailand ko'cha nomlarining lotin alifbosida ko'rsatilishi izchil emas. G'alaba yodgorligidan Don Mueang aeroportiga qarab yo'l yozilishi mumkin Faxonyotin yoki Faxon Yotin yoki Pahon Yotin yoki Faxolitin qaysi ko'cha belgisi yoki xaritaga murojaat qilganingizga qarab. Tailand tilida hammasi bir xil, albatta, faqat romanizatsiya har xil.

Va agar bu etarli darajada chalkash bo'lmasa, katta ko'chalarning aksariyati har bir necha kilometrda nomlarini butunlay o'zgartirishga moyil. Suxumvit chaqiriladi Suxumvit yo'lning bir tomonida (taxminan sharqda), lekin u aylanadi Phloen Chit Witthayu yo'lidan o'tishdan oldin (aka Simsiz yo'l) daryo tomon ketmoqdalar. Yana bir necha ko'chada davom eting va u aylanadi Rama I yo'l (yoki Phra Ram Neung Road) Ratchadamri yo'lidan o'tganingizdan so'ng. Agar siz Ratchadamri tomon o'ng tomonga burilsangiz, bir necha blokda o'zingizni topasiz Ratchaprarop yo'li (o'tgan Phetchaburi, aka Yangi Phetburideb nomlangan Fitsanulok daryoga yaqinroq).

Yaxshiyamki, ushbu nomlarning o'zgarishi mantiqiy: ularning aksariyati mahallalardir. Yo'lni chaqirish mantiqqa to'g'ri kelmaydi Suxumvit agar u endi Suxumvit hududidan o'tmasa, shunday emasmi? Shunday qilib, Suxumvit bo'ladi Phloen Chit u Phloen Chit hududidan o'tadi. Shaharni mahallalari nuqtai nazaridan tushuna olganingizda, u yanada navigatsiya va yanada jozibali bo'lib qoladi. Xuddi shunday, Pratunam va Chatuchak nafaqat bozorlardan ko'proq; ular har biri o'ziga xos xususiyatga ega mahallalar.

Bangkokda harakatlanish uchun taylandliklar kompas yo'nalishlaridan keng foydalanmaydilar. Shunday qilib, "G'arb shu erdanmi?" Ehtimol, sizga mahalliy odamning aralashgan ko'rinishidan ozgina ko'proq foyda keltirishi mumkin. Yaxshisi, mahallalar bilan tanishib, u erlarga qaytib boring. "Tong Loga qanday boraman?" yo'lni so'rashdan ko'ra sizni u erga tezroq olib boradi Suxumvit Soi 55.

Istisnolardan biri: Chao-Phraya daryosi Bangkokdagi diqqatga sazovor joy bo'lib, ko'plab yo'nalishlarga "daryo tomon" yoki "daryodan uzoqda" sifatida murojaat qilish mumkin. Agar siz juda yaqin bo'lmasangiz, ya'ni: daryo eng mashhur sayyohlik zonalari atrofida esayotganligi sababli, siz Khao San Road, Sanam Luang yoki Rattanakosin-dan uzoqroq yurganingizda daryo ma'lumotlari eng foydali bo'ladi. Va kerak.

Iqlim

Butunjahon meteorologiya tashkiloti ma'lumotlariga ko'ra, Bangkok dunyodagi eng issiq shahar hisoblanadi. Ekvatordan atigi 14 daraja shimolda, Bangkok yilning har qanday vaqtida quyoshli, harorati 30 ° C (86 ° F) dan yuqori.

Tashrif buyurishning eng yoqimli vaqti bu salqin fasl bu noyabr-fevraldan davom etadi. Bu eng salqin va eng quruq davr - Zumraddan Budda haykali Wat Phra Kaeo hatto bu davrda sharf kiyadi! Buni zarur deb o'ylamang - kunduzgi harorat hali ham 30 ° C atrofida (86 ° F), lekin u qorong'i tushganda pastki 20-yillarda soviydi (Farengeytda 70-yillarning pastki qismida) va kamdan-kam hollarda hatto 15 ° S dan past. Mart va aprel oylari vakili issiq mavsumva issiq - o'rtacha 35 ° C (95 ° F), lekin issiqlik indekslari 50s ° C ga (120 ° F atrofida) ko'tarilishini ko'rib hayron bo'lmang. Bu Bangkokga tashrif buyurish uchun eng yomon mavsum, shuning uchun konditsionerli xarid qilish markazlariga tashrif buyurishni rejalashtiring va basseynli mehmonxonaga boring. Keyin bor nam fasl may-oktyabr oylarida davom etadi. Yomg'ir yog'ishini kuting, natijada shahar bo'ylab toshqinlar bo'ladi va ba'zida momaqaldiroq sehrlari bo'ladi. Hammasi yomon emas - peshindan keyin yomg'irlar issiqdan sovishning yoqimli usuli, va ular kun bo'yi davom etishi mumkin bo'lsa-da, odatda bir soat ichida tugaydi. Haddan tashqari yog'ingarchilik sentyabr va oktyabr oylarida sodir bo'ladi, shuning uchun bu oylardan saqlanish yaxshiroqdir.

Qaysi faslga tashrif buyurmang, ob-havoni beparvo qabul qilmang - tushdan keyin quyosh nurlari ostida ma'badni buzib yurish qiyin bo'lishi mumkin, shuning uchun yaxshi tayyorgarlik bilan keling. Yengil kiying ob-havo uchun, lekin buni yodda tuting ba'zi saroylar va ibodatxonalar (xususan Katta saroy) qat'iy kiyim kodiga ega bo'lish, ya'ni har kim o'z tanasini, oyoqlarini va yuqori qo'llarini to'liq yopishi kerak. Shunday qilib, shortilar, ustki kiyimlar va boshqalar sizni kiritishni rad etadi. Ba'zi yirik diqqatga sazovor joylarga kirish joylarida sotuvchilar kerakli joyni ijaraga olishlari mumkin.

Shuningdek, ishonchingiz komil etarli miqdorda suyuqlik ichish! Bangkokda 7-Elevens va boshqa maishiy xizmat do'konlari juda ko'p bo'lganligi sababli, sovutilgan ichimliklarni 10 bahtdan kam narxga sotganligi sababli sizda hech qanday sabab yo'q. Mahalliy aholi suvni "teskari osmoz" dan tozalangan suv mashinalaridan oladi, ular bir litrli shishani 1 batga to'ldiradi, ammo tashrif buyuruvchilar uchun imkoniyat har xil bo'lishi mumkin.

Tomosha qiling

Chet el filmlari Tailandda kutib olish paytidanoq mashhur bo'lgan, ammo 1920-yillarda Bangkokda mahalliy kino sanoati rivojlana boshladi. Tailand filmlarining eng tanqidiga sazovor bo'lgan filmlari Tailand kino sanoatining "uch to'lqini" da, 1930-yillarda, 1950-yillarda va 1990-yillarning oxiri / 2000-yillarning boshlarida ishlab chiqarilgan, garchi Ikkinchi Jahon urushidan oldin suratga olingan filmlar afsuski yo'qolgan. Etakchi janrlar deyarli har doim komediya elementlari bilan chambarchas bog'liq bo'lgan jangovar, tarixiy dostonlar, romantik va gey / transgender filmlardir. Quyidagilar (hech bo'lmaganda qisman) Bangkokda namoyish etiladi:

• 6_xtynin9 (S 69, Pen-ek Ratanaruang, 1999). Osiyo moliyaviy inqirozi paytida moliya korporatsiyasidan ishdan bo'shatilgan kotib Tum, eshigi oldida tayyor noodle qutisini topdi. U pul bilan to'ldirilgan va u uni saqlashga qaror qildi. Biroq, u erda qoldirgan odamlar tez orada uni qaytarib olishni xohlashadi.
• Bangkok xavfli (บางกอก แดน เจอ รัส เพชฌฆาต เงียบ เงียบ อันตราย, The Pang Brothers, 1999). Pang birodarlarining debyuti, Bangkok xavfli sevgini topadigan va uning xatti-harakatlari yaxshi odamlarga qanday zarar etkazayotganini tushunadigan hitman haqida zamonaviy film.
• Plyaj (Denni Boyl, 2000). Richard (rolni Leonardo Di Kaprio ijro etgan) - bu sarguzasht izlayotgan yosh amerikalik ryukzak. Khao San Road-da u Daffi bilan uchrashadi, bu unga maxfiy orolda plyaj jannati borligiga ishontiradi. Bu backpackerlar jamoasida mashhur film. Bangkokdan tashqari, Gollivudning ushbu filmidagi ba'zi sahnalar Tailand janubidagi plyajdagi orol Ko Ko Phi Phi-da suratga olingan.
• Fuqaro iti (หมา นคร, Wisit Sasanatieng, 2004). Qishloqdan Bangkokga ko'chib o'tayotgan Podning hayotini kuzatadigan ekssentrik, yorqin, rang-barang film. Hayotda maqsadsiz, Pod o'z orzulari uchun yashaydigan Jinni sevadi. Bu soxta orzular va haqiqiy ko'ngilsizlikni taklif qiladigan Bangkokning kulgili kinoyali portretini beradi.
• Hangover II qism (Todd Fillips, 2011). Bangkokka bakalavr ziyofatiga boradigan do'stlar guruhi ("bo'ri to'plami") haqida Amerika komediya filmi. Ko'plab stereotiplar tasdiqlangan, ammo bu hali ham kuladi. Filmning aksariyat sahnalari Yaovarat, Suxumvit va Thonburida suratga olingan. Silomdagi Davlat minorasi ham namoyish etilgan.
• Temir xonimlar (สตรี เหล็ก, Youngyooth Thongkonthun, 2000). Ushbu film voleybol bo'yicha erkaklar jamoasining deyarli to'liq gey va transgender o'yinchilaridan iborat haqiqiy voqeasini aks ettiradi. Jamoa 1996 yilgi milliy chempionat uchun raqobatlashadi va olomon ularni yaxshi ko'rar ekan, ularni boshqa jamoalar va o'yin mutasaddilari baholashmoqda.
• Ong-Bak: Muay Thai jangchisi (Bh, Prachya Pinkaew, 2003). Jang san'atlari yulduzi Toni Jaaning kashfiyot filmi va Muaytay yoki xoreografiyaga qarshi kurashishni istaganlar uchun mutlaqo ko'rishi kerak bo'lgan film. Bangkokdagi ko'plab joylar namoyish etiladi, ammo o'ylamang Khao San Road tasvirlanganidek, er osti jangovar uyasi.

Gapir

Bangkokda asosiy til - bu markaziy lahja Tailandcha, bu Chiang May atrofida gapiriladigan shimoliy lahjadan bir oz farq qiladi. Biroq, ko'plab sayyohlar borligi sababli, xizmat ko'rsatish sohasida ishlaydigan ko'plab odamlar, shuningdek, ko'plab mashhur oziq-ovqat do'konlari xodimlari kabi ingliz tilini yaxshi bilishadi.

Bangkok, shuningdek, etnik xitoyliklarning ko'pchilik uyi bo'lib, ularning aksariyati ikki tilli Teochew va tay.

Chiqinglar

Samolyotda

Bangkokga ikkita aeroport xizmat qiladi: Suvarnabhumi aeroporti (BKK ^IATA) va Don Mueang aeroporti (DMK ^IATA). Suvarnabhumi Aeroport asosiy aeroport bo'lib, barcha to'liq xizmat ko'rsatuvchi aviakompaniyalar tomonidan foydalaniladi, ammo Nok Air, Orient Thai, Air Asia, Scoot va boshqa ba'zi arzon aviakompaniyalar Don Mueang aeroportidan foydalanadilar. Ikkala aeroport ham shaharning qarama-qarshi tomonida taxminan 30 km (19 milya) masofada joylashgan, shuning uchun shahar markaziga kirish uchun uzoq safarga boring va ular o'rtasida uzoqroq sayohat qiling. Ikki aeroport o'rtasida bepul transport avtobusidan foydalanish mumkin, agar siz tegishli yo'lovchini ko'rsatishingiz mumkin bo'lsa. Yaxshi kunda bu taxminan bir soat davom etadi, lekin shosse tez-tez yomon tiqilib qoladi, shuning uchun har doim bu transfer uchun 2-3 soat vaqt bering. Tailand bahti shahar bilan bog'lanish uchun tayyor bo'lishi yaxshi fikr. Pulni o'zgartirishning yaxshi variantlari BKK metro stantsiyasida mavjud.

Suvarnabhumi aeroporti

Asosiy maqola: Suvarnabhumi aeroporti

13.6925100.751 Suvarnabhumi aeroporti (สุวรรณภูมิ BKK ^IATA) (Bangkokdan 30 km sharqda (19 milya)). Kosmosga asoslangan Suvarnabhumi aeroporti 2006 yil sentyabr oyida ish boshladi va hozirda Bangkokning asosiy aeroporti va Janubi-Sharqiy Osiyodagi eng gavjum aeroportlardan biri hisoblanadi. U Bangkokka xalqaro va ichki reyslar uchun ishlatiladi. Ham ichki, ham xalqaro parvozlarni qamrab oladigan bitta terminal binosi mavjud. Bu ulkan, va ba'zi o'lchovlar bo'yicha dunyodagi eng katta, shuning uchun atrofida aylanish uchun vaqt bering. Ikki immigratsiya bo'limi mavjud, ammo ishlov berish muddati uzoq, kamida 30 min va yomon kunlarda deyarli 2 soat bo'lishi mumkin.  

Yo'lovchi terminalining pastki qavatida Aeroportning temir yo'l aloqasi shahar markaziga tezkor poezd xizmatini taklif etadi. Bu, shuningdek, Bangkokning shoshilinch shoshilinch tirbandligidan saqlanishning bir usuli, ayniqsa yomg'ir paytida. Poyezdlar har kuni yarim tunda soat 06:00 dan jo'nab ketadi. The Shahar chizig'i bu barcha stantsiyalarda to'xtaydigan yo'lovchi temir yo'l liniyasi. Poyezdlar har 10-13 daqiqada jo'nab ketishadi va Makkasan bekatidan keyin Ratchaprarop va Phaya Thai stantsiyalarida harakat qilishadi. Phaya Thai-ga sayohat aeroportdan 26 daqiqa davom etadi va 45 baht turadi.

Bundan tashqari, arzon shahar avtobuslarini ushlab turish uchun aeroport avtobus terminaliga aka transport markaziga bepul avtobusda borishingiz mumkin. Agar sizga o'xshash shahar atrofiga boradigan bo'lsangiz, bu qulay bo'lishi mumkin Rangsit yoki Bang Kapi. 2017 yil iyun oyidan boshlab ekspress avtobus S1 terminal binosidan-ga qadar ishlaydi Khao San Road.

Agar sizga taksi kerak bo'lsa, oddiy metrli taksilar birinchi qavatda mavjud (kelganlardan bir qavat pastda). Aeroport binolari tashqarisiga olib chiqadigan "jamoat taksisi" belgilariga rioya qiling. Kelish zalidagi shov-shuvlardan saqlaning; ular sizni jalb qilmoqchi bo'lgan taksilar, ehtimol, noqonuniydir va ular bilan birga yirtilib ketish xavfi ancha yuqori. Bankomat uslubidagi chiptaxonalar raqamlangan varaqalarni tarqatadi, ularning soni sizning taksingiz to'xtagan joyni bildiradi. Siz bagaji bo'lgan 2 kattalar uchun oddiy taksichilik va katta taksini tanlashingiz mumkin. Slipni saqlang, chunki haydovchi sizni aldayotgan bo'lsa, shikoyat qilishga yordam beradi. Hisoblagichning yuqori qismida 50 baht qo'shimcha to'lov mavjud (emas har bir yo'lovchiga), ya'ni shaharga sayohat 250-400 bahtni tashkil etadi (shuningdek, yo'nalishga qarab, 50 va 25 bahtlik tezkor transport yo'llari). Keyinroq to'lovlar uchun ortiqcha haq olinmasligi uchun pullik operatorlariga o'tishga tayyorligingizni tekshiring. Tirbandlikka va boradigan joyga qarab sayohat taxminan 45-60 daqiqa davom etadi.

Don Mueang aeroporti

13.9125100.60672 Don Mueang aeroporti (ดอนเมือง DMK ^IATA) (Suxumvitdan taxminan 30 km (19 milya) shimolda). Bu 2006 yilgacha Bangkokning asosiy aeroporti bo'lgan. Shu kunlarda aeroport asosan byudjet tashuvchilariga xizmat qiladi va parvozlarni amalga oshiradi. Thai Lion Air, Skuter, Nok Air, Sharq Tailand va Air Asia. To'g'ridan-to'g'ri temir yo'l aloqasi yo'qligi sababli DMKga BKKga qaraganda biroz qiyinroq.  

1. Taksi : the jamoat taksilar turar joyi kelish zonasi oxirida. Taksi belgilariga rioya qiling. (Asosiy zaldagi barcha taksi xizmat ko'rsatish stendlariga aldanmang.) Bu erda Suvarnabhumi aeroportidagi stend va sirpanish tizimidan foydalaniladi. Agar taksi stantsiyasida navbat uzoq bo'lsa yoki sizga kengroq mashina kerak bo'lsa, siz ((deb nomlangan)) buyurtma berishni xohlashingiz mumkin. limuzinli taksi terminaldagi stollardan. Bu sizga taxminan ikki baravar narxda (500-600 baht) biroz yoqimli mashinani taqdim etadi. Terminalning tashqarisidagi asosiy yo'lda ham norasmiy taksilar navbati mavjud (lekin o'lchangan taksilar uchun) u erga etib borish uchun temir yo'l stantsiyasiga boradigan ko'prikdan foydalaning, ammo tor zinadan tushing oldin asosiy yo'ldan o'tish (ushbu navbatdan foydalanish kutishni ancha qisqartirishi va aeroportda qo'shimcha to'lovlarni to'lamasligi mumkin). Tashqaridagi tirnoqlarga e'tibor bermang va oq raqamli avtomobilga o'tirmang, chunki bu yo'lovchilarni tashish huquqiga ega emas.
2. Maxsus avtobus Skytrain (BTS) : The A1 aeroport avtobusi Sena Nikhom BTS stantsiyasiga boradi. Siz uni 1-terminalning 6-chi chiqish qismida va 2-terminalning 12-chi chiqish joyida bortga qo'yishingiz mumkin. U aeroportdan 07: 30-24: 00 gacha va 07: 00-24: 00 gacha aeroportgacha ishlaydi. Avtobus jo'nab ketgach, styuardessa tomonidan yig'ilgan 30 bat. Taxminan 20 daqiqa davom etadi va tirbandliklarning oldini olish uchun Don Muang ko'tarilgan yo'lidan foydalanadi. Avtobus juda gavjum bo'lishi mumkin, shuning uchun siz safda erta turganingizga ishonch hosil qiling. Agar sizda SMS ro'yxatdan o'tish uchun mahalliy sim bo'lsa, ko'pchilik Wi-Fi-ga ega. Sena Nikxomdan keyin avtobus aeroportga qaytishdan oldin Ratchayothin BTS stantsiyasi va Vibxavadi kasalxonasida davom etmoqda. Agar siz borsangiz G'alaba yodgorligi maydoni, olib A2 avtobus poezdga o'tish muammosini tejaydi (yo'l haqi ham 30 baht). Aeroportga to'g'ridan-to'g'ri temir yo'l aloqasi qurilib, aeroportga birinchi ulanish loyihasi bekor qilingandan so'ng (dastlabki loyihaning ustunlari ko'rinib turibdi). Ishlar 2017-2018 yillarda yakunlanishi kerak.
3. Ekspress avtobus: 2017 yil may oyidan beri A3 avtobus Don Mueang yo'nalishi bo'yicha ishlaydi - Dindaeng - Pratunam- Ratchaprasong - Ratchadamri - Lumphini parkiva A4 avtobus Don Mueang yo'nalishi bo'yicha ishlaydi - Yommarach - Lam Luang - Pan Fa - Demokratiya yodgorligi - Khao San - Sanam Luang. Narxlar 50 bahtni tashkil etadi va avtobuslar soat 01:00 dan 23:00 gacha 1-terminalning 6-eshigi va 2-terminalning 12-eshigi oldida yo'lovchilarni olib ketishadi.
4. Poezd: aeroportdan yopiq yo'l o'tkazgich bo'ylab Don Muang poezd stantsiyasi. Bangkok markazidagi Hualamfon poezd stantsiyasiga chiptalar chiptalar kabinasida 8 baht turadi. Poezdga chiqish aeroportdan Bangkokka borishning eng arzon usuli bo'lsa-da, jadvallar tartibsiz, juda qadimgi yo'lovchi vagonlarida ko'pincha tilanchilar aylanib yurar va tunda nisbatan bo'sh. Bu, albatta, aeroportga etib borish / qaytish uchun eng haqiqiy vosita.
5. LimoBus : Ushbu xususiy avtobus xizmati bitta marshrutga xizmat qiladi Khao San Road va boshqa yo'nalish Silom va Pratunam. Yakkaxon sayohatchiga metrajli taksidan arzonroq, ammo shahar avtobuslariga qaraganda ancha qimmat.
6. Shahar avtobusi : Shuningdek, aeroport tomonidan bir qator jamoat transporti avtobuslari bor, faqat temir yo'l stantsiyasiga qarab chiqing. Bangkok markaziga yo'naltirilgan avtobuslar aeroport yonida, shuning uchun katta yo'ldan o'tmang. Bu foydali avtobus yo'nalishlari:
   • Konditsioner avtobus 504 sizni Ratchaprasong chorrahasida (yaqinroqda) CentralWorldga olib boradi Siam maydoni), shuningdek, Lumphini Park va Silom, Skytrain-ga kirishingiz mumkin bo'lgan joy.
   • Oddiy va konditsioner avtobus 29 sizni Xualamfon poezd stantsiyasiga olib boradi, shu qatorda G'alaba yodgorligi va Siam maydoni. Shuningdek, siz Chatuchak hafta oxiri bozorida tushishingiz mumkin, bu erda siz metro yoki Skytrain-ga o'tishingiz mumkin. Ba'zan oxirgi to'xtash joyi - G'alaba yodgorligi (19 baht).
   • Konditsioner avtobus 59 sizni Sanam Luangga olib boradi Rattanakosin. Rattanakosin aeroportdan uzoqda bo'lganligi sababli ushbu yo'nalish ko'p vaqt talab etadi.

Shuni yodda tutingki, ushbu shahar avtobuslarining ba'zilari marshrutni tugatmaydi. Ular "qo'shimcha avtobus" deb nomlangan (Tailandcha: รถ เสริม) chirigan serm). Ushbu turdagi avtobuslarning oldida qizil belgi qo'yilgan va unda oxirgi manzil yozilgan (albatta tayland yozuvida). Avtobusga chiqishdan oldin buni tekshirib ko'ring. Mahalliy aholidan avtobus bekatida yoki avtobusda konduktordan so'rashingiz mumkin

Avtobusda

Bangkokdan chiqib ketadigan avtobuslarga chiptalarni sotib olayotganda, sayohat agentliklari va ularning shaxsiy avtobuslarini chetlab o'tib, jamoat avtobuslari chiptalarini to'g'ridan-to'g'ri Bangkokning uchta uchastkasida olish yaxshiroqdir. jamoat avtobus terminallari.

Ushbu uzoq avtobus terminallarining har biri alohida yo'nalishga xizmat qiladi. Ular maqsadli ravishda markazdan tashqarida joylashgan, shuning uchun uzoq avtobuslar shahar markazida katta tirbandlikka yo'l qo'ymaydi. Ular:

  • G'alaba yodgorligi BTS stantsiyasidan terminalga och to'q sariq rangli konditsioner bilan erishish mumkin Avtobus 515 (17 baht). Dirijyor yaqinlashganda, shunchaki "Sai Tai" deb ayting. After quite a ride, the large bus terminal will be on the left side about 9 km (5.5 mi) after crossing the river (you won't miss it and probably will be told as well). Getting there by bus actually does not take much more time than taxi (it's almost the same in the likely case of a traffic jam), but the ride is much cheaper, especially if alone. Bus 556 no longer goes from Suvarnabhumi Airport, but from Makkasan Airport Rail Link (ARL) station. There are also white minibuses (30 baht) from various points around Bangkok, e.g., from Ramkhamhaeng (near Rajamangala National Stadium). There are inexpensive shuttle buses and slightly more expensive (but quicker loading and a bit faster) minibuses to and from the Northeastern Bus Terminal as well.

By minibus

For travelling to Bangkok suburbs or locations within 200 km of the city, the fastest and often the cheapest way is to use public minibus (minivan) services. They run from parking lots beside the 13.7656100.5396 Victory Monument Square (Thai:อนุสาวรีย์ anusawarii) (Use footbridge leading north from BTS Victory Monument exit 2).  . Facing the monument itself are the city bus stops, behind it there is a small market, and behind the market you will find many white-coloured minibuses just parking at the roadside and waiting for passengers. They depart when full, usually each 10–30 min. Fare is usually similar to long-distance buses with the same destination (if there are any). Other way, it could be estimated as 1 baht/km.

Since October 2016 the minibuses to other provinces have been relocated to the three public bus terminals which makes them far less convenient. The city is easing the transition by providing free shuttle buses from Victory Monument Square to the bus terminals. The shuttles to Southern Bus Terminal, and Northern and Northeastern Bus Terminal depart from the northwestern quadrant of the square. It is unclear how long these free shuttles will remain in place.

Destinations are written on the front and the side of the minibuses in Thai, so you should ask drivers or ticket sellers about your destination. Minivans are usually the fastest way of transportation because they take elevated expressways right from Victory Monument, thus avoiding traffic jams. Another advantage is that they start from the city centre of Bangkok and usually arrive at the city centre of their destination. Normal long distance buses sometimes stop further away from the city centre. Minibus drivers are infamous for unsafe driving and deadly accidents. A disadvantage of minibuses is that leg room is limited, and might be not comfortable for tall people. If you have bulky baggage you either keep it on your lap or buy a seat for it.

Some useful destinations within the city: Min Buri (around 30 baht, for Siam Park), Nava Nakorn (50 baht, for Don Mueang Airport or to get out along hwy 1 for hitching to the north/northeast), Phra Ram 2 (to the highway, for hitching to southern Thailand), Suvarnabhumi Airport (40 baht).

Some destinations served from Eastern Bus Terminal: Pattaya (130 baht), Ban Pxe (uchun Ko Samet), Rayong, Chanthaburi.

Some destinations served from Northern and Northeastern Bus Terminal: Ayutthaya (around 70 baht), Lopburi.

Some destinations served from Southern Bus Terminal: Samut Songkhram, Samut Sakhon, Kanchanaburi, Phetchaburi, Hua Hin.

Poyezdda

Railways converge on Bangkok from all parts of Thailand: from Chiang May in the north, Nong Khai on the Laos border, Ubon Ratchathani to the east, Aranyaprathet on the Cambodia border, Sattaxip on the coast to the south, Nam Tok to the west, and Padang Besar on the Malaysia border down the peninsula to the south. Trains are run by State Railway of Thailand. See also "Get in" pages for towns along those routes, and Thailand#Get around.

The luxurious Belmond Eastern & Oriental Express also occasionally runs between Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur va Singapur, with prices starting at US$7500. Two runs are scheduled for late 2021.

Three high speed railways to Bangkok are being developed from Kunming in China: an eastern line via Vietnam, a central line via Laos, and a western line via Myanmar. As of 2021, when these were originally supposed to be nearly finished, work on all three has long stalled and completion is not remotely in sight.

13.7389100.51677 Hua Lamphong Station is the city's principal and terminus station until Bang Sue is fully open, see below. It's central, near Yaowarat and has its own metro station. It's a charming old building of 1916, yet surprisingly efficient and convenient. On timetables it's usually called Krung Thep.

Tickets for trains leaving the same or the next day can be bought at the counters under the big screens. The advance booking office is to the right of the platforms as you walk towards them and is well-organised. You can select your seat/berth from a plan of the train, and payments by credit card are accepted. The information desk is helpful, pay no regard at all to anyone else, even if they are wearing official-looking badges. Likewise, the second floor shops offering "Tourist Information" are just touts. The taxi pick up and drop off point is to the left of the platforms as you walk towards them, and is generally chaotic at busy periods. The left luggage facility is at the opposite end of the concourse, on the far right as you walk away from the platforms.

13.804100.5428 Bang Sue Station will become the terminus for inter-city trains, perhaps from Nov 2021; it's not yet known which local and regional services will also switch. You might change here for the Metro, but the place remains a work in progress. It's also connected by Bus 52 to Mo Chit, for the long distance bus terminal.

13.7606100.47899 Thonburi Train Station (ธนบุรี formerly the Bangkok Noi Station) (On the west side of the river in Thonburi). The terminus for twice-daily trains to Kanchanaburi (via Nakhon Pathom). Just to keep things confusing, the previous Thonburi Train Station right next to the river (accessible by the Chao Phraya Express Boat pier Temir yo'l stansiyasi) is now mothballed and turned into a museum, but it's only 800 m away from the new station. The weekend-only second class air conditioned tourist trains to Kanchanaburi and Nam Tok depart from Hualamphong Train Station.  

13.7243100.49110 Wongwian Yai Train Station (วงเวียนใหญ่) (About 800 m from the Skytrain station of the same name. To get there, take a metered taxi for 35-50 baht, or walk (using a map)). Serves the rustic Mae Klong commuter line to the fishing village of Maha Chai. Trains run roughly hourly and the trip takes about one hour. The ride is of little interest if you want to get there fast, but is an experience for rail fans and an attraction in itself, with a nice view on the countryside's orchards, vegetable plantations and coconut groves. Maha Chai is a nice seafood destination, and if you feel like it, you can cross the Tha Chin river by ferry and continue by rail to Samut Songkhram.  

By ship

Not many people come to Bangkok by cruise ship. Medium to large ships must dock at 13.0703100.894611 Laem Chabang Port.  about 90 min (varies considerably in rush hours) southeast of Bangkok and about 30 min north of Pattaya. A taxi service desk is available on the wharf, but charges extortionate prices for a trip to Bangkok, a whopping 2,600 baht to charter a taxi (4 passengers), or about 5,000 baht to charter a minibus (usually 11 passenger seats). Slightly lower prices can be found by walking out to the main road, about 4,000 baht for a minibus, but even these rates are still almost double the typical rate in the opposite direction. Better deals may be possible for round trips (even if returning the following day).

If you can easily get to and from the following bus terminals...

• Frequent first and second class bus services directly connect Laem Chabang with Bangkok's Eastern Bus Terminal (Ekkamai); less frequent direct services run to the Northeastern Bus Terminal (Mo Chit). A first class air conditioned bus (blue and white) to either will take 90 min or less; the fare is around 100 baht. A quick way to get into Sukhumvit is to get a Ekkamai-bound bus and then disembark early at On Nut, where you can hop onto the Skytrain. The bus will always stop here if a passenger requests it.
• Southbound buses to Pattaya can be boarded at the traffic lights on Sukhumvit Road in Laem Chabang. These are extremely frequent (at least 10 per hour), and charge less than 50 baht.

Smaller ships may dock well upriver at 13.703736100.57544712 Khlong Toei (Bangkok Cruise Port).   close to the city's center. Reaching major hotels and the many major points of interest is cheaper and much quicker than from Laem Chabang. A modest terminal provides processing for passengers. You'll also find "managers" inside who arrange tours and taxis. Costs can vary widely according to your negotiating skills or if you have the option of using a ship's shuttle other locations. The facility is within an active freight port. (Its entrance is not close to the metro stop of the same name.) The distance to the very-active port entrance from the terminal (about a kilometer) and heavy traffic in-between mean pedestrians are not allowed. Thus, options to get to/from the terminal are metered taxi and ship's bus/shuttle if offered.

Mashinada

Getting into Bangkok by car is not a good idea, as you can easily waste half a day waiting in traffic just to get to the other side of the city. Three major highways lead to Bangkok from every direction in Thailand. The best way to get to Bangkok from Shimoliy Tailand is via Phahonyothin Road (Rte 1), which comes from Mae Sai near the Myanmar border. Suxumvit yo'li (Rte 3) comes from cities in Sharqiy Tailand, such as Trat, Pattayava Chonburi. Phetkasem Road (Rte 4), one of the longest roads in the world, extends all the way to the Malaysian border, serving Janubiy Tailand.

To ease congestion on these highways, a new system of motorways has emerged which will be extended in the future. The New Bangkok-Chonburi Motorway (Motorway 7) connects Chonburi va Pattaya. The Kanchanaphisek National Highway (Motorway 9 or "Outer Ring Road") makes a giant loop around Bangkok serving most satellite towns around it such as Nonthaburi va Samut Prakan.

Atrofga boring

Bangkok is infamous for its congestion, but these days there are ways around it: hop on the Skytrain (BTS) and Metro (MRT) in the city centre, or use boats to navigate the city's rivers and canals. Although too expensive for the average working class Thai, the Skytrain and MRT are reasonably priced by Western standards.

Transit Bangkok will make using public transport easier by choosing the best combination of buses, MRT, BTS to get to your destination.

Jamoat transporti orqali

The backbone of Bangkok's public transportation system is three separate rail systems; The BTS Skytrain, MRT, va Aeroportning temir yo'l aloqasi. Although transfers between different systems are fairly straightforward, their fare systems are not integrated and completely separate from each other, meaning that you will have to buy separate tickets for each leg of your journey. There is also no integrated stored value card that can be used for all three systems, so you will have a buy separate cards for each system you wish to use. That said, an integrated stored value card for all three systems, known as the Mangmoom Card, is planned, though its rollout has been subject to repeated delays. Different names are used by the different systems for the interchange stations. For instance, the interchange station known as Sukhumvit in the MRT system is known as Asok in the BTS system.

The rail network is complemented by the Chao Phraya Express qayig'i running on the Chao Phraya River, as well as a system of buses. None of these make use of a stored value card system, and fare payment is only accepted in cash.

Skytrain

The 13.802583100.55383313 Bangkok Skytrain (BTS) (รถไฟฟ้าบีทีเอส) deserves a visit simply for the Disneyland space-ageness of it. Built in a desperate effort to ease Bangkok's insane traffic and pollution, the Skytrain covers most of the main areas of the city and is especially convenient for visiting Siam maydoni. There are two lines: the light green Suxumvit liniyasi travels along Suxumvit yo'li, Siam maydoni and then follows Phahonyothin Road up north, where it passes Mo Chit (N8), near the Chatuchak Weekend Market, before terminating at Wat Phra Shri Maxathat (N17). In April 2017 the eastbound section crossed the border to Samut Prakan when Samrong (E15) station opened. The dark green Silom liniyasi starts in Petchkasem Road (Bang Wa station, S12), passes the Express Boat pier at Saphan Taksin (S6), goes through the Silom area and ends at Milliy stadion (W1), right next to MBK Center. Both lines come together at Siam (CEN), where you can interchange between them. Unfortunately, there is no station near Khao San Road, but you can take the Express Boat from Phra Arthit Pier to Sathorn Pier, where you can switch onto the Skytrain. (yangilangan Iyul 2020)

You must have 5 or 10 baht coins to purchase Skytrain tickets from vending machines, so hold on to them. At some stations there are touchscreen machines that accept 20, 50 and 100 baht notes, but there is often a queue to use them. Fares range from 15 to 55 baht depending upon how many zones you are travelling. Consult the map (in English) near each ticket machine. If you do not have coins, queue for change from the staff at the booth. If you are in town for several days (or will make several visits during the next 30 days), weigh your options and consider:

• Rabbit card: a rechargeable stored-value card (from 100 baht, plus a 100 baht non-refundable card cost). Bring your passport when purchasing. The Rabbit card can also be used to make payments in some supermarkets,
• a "ride all you like" tourist pass (140 baht per day) or
• a multiple ride pass of 20 trips or more to any zone (15 trips cost 345 baht, 25 trips cost 550 baht; plus a 30 baht refundable deposit for a rechargeable card that is valid for 5 years).

They will certainly save you time, scrambling for coins, and maybe even money. Check for information with the English speaking staff.

The trains do not run all night. The last departures from termini are 00:00-00:24, and first trains start at 05:15-05:30.

Metro

The Metropolitan Rapid Transit (MRT) (รถไฟฟ้ามหานคร). has two lines but is being extended with construction messing up traffic in some areas. The service started as a metro (subway) train but parts of the network run now on elevated track so the label Skytrain for the BTS is becoming confusing when the Airport Rail Link also uses similar construction.  

The  Blue  line runs in a circle from Lak Song to Tha Phra through Thonburi, Yaowarat, Silom, Suxumvit, Ratchadaphisek and areas around Chatuchak Weekend Market in Faxonyotin. There are interchanges to the Skytrain at Bang Wa, Si Lom, Suxumvit va Chatuchak bog'i stations. The Purple Line connects Tao Poon market west of Bang Sue Train Station to points west in Nonthaburi way across Chao Phraya River.

Metro tickets are not interchangeable with BTS tickets. Fares range from 16 to 42 baht and are based on number of stations. The ticket vending machines accept coins and banknotes. Pre-paid cards of up to 1,000 baht are also available. For single ride fares, a round plastic token is used. It is electronic: simply wave it by the scanner to enter; deposit it in a slot by the exit gate leave. Children and elderly are issued tickets at half price but you must go to the ticketing counter.

The metro stations have escalators going all the way up and down in addition to lifts so the metro is easier than the Skytrain for people with reduced mobility or heavy baggage. Bag-checks take place at the entrance of each station. It is usually nothing more than a quick peek inside; it is a piece of pointless security theatre which will not stop any serious bomber.

Tourists do not use the MRT as much as the Skytrain, but there are several useful stops on the Blue Line. Sanam Chai station is near Wat Pho and the Grand Palace in Rattanakosin. Wat Mangkon provides a good access to Yaowarat. Si Lom va Lumphini are at either end of Lumphini Park. Phetchaburi station provides an interchange with the Saen Saep Express qayig'i at Asok pier and with Aeroportning temir yo'l aloqasi at Makkasan station. Phra Ram 9 is near Fortunetown IT mall which locals consider better than Pantip Plaza. Tailand madaniyat markazi is also near Rot Fai Ratchada night market and Siam Niramit show. Lat Phrao is near Suan Lum Night Bazaar. If you're going to the Chatuchak dam olish kunlari bozori, don't get out at Chatuchak Park, but go one stop further to Kamphaeng Phet as it drops you right inside the market.

The  Purple  line is opening new areas for tourists. For example, the off-beat Siam Gypsy Junction near Tao Poon station is now much easier to access as a place where you can drink until sunrise.

Thailand's main railway connecting Bangkok to the north and northeast provinces intersects the MRT at two points: Bang Sue and Hualamphong. Those staying at Khao San Road or in the Silom or Yaowarat areas can disembark at Hualamphong for easy access to these places. However, due to the many level crossings disembarking at Bang Sue and catching the metro will take you faster even to Hualamphong although it will cost a bit more. If you are heading from the train to Suvarnabhumi airport, disembark at Bang Sue, ride the metro to Phetchaburi and switch to Airport Rail Link at Makkasan.

Metro trains run 06:00-24:00.

Aeroportning temir yo'l aloqasi

Opened in 2010 the Aeroportning temir yo'l aloqasi (รถไฟฟ้าเชื่อมท่าอากาศยานสุวรรณภูมิ). connects Suvarnabhumi Airport to the city. Only the City Line remains although the service started with a more expensive and faster Express Line. Also the City Air Terminal at Makkasan station has been dismantled due to lack of use.  

The  ARL  line (Airport Rail Link, city line) starts at Suvarnabhumi Airport and terminates at Phaya Thai, with some interesting stops in between (such as Ramkhamhaeng, Makkasan for the metro line and Ratchaprarop for Pratunam). A ticket costs 15-45 baht, depending on distance. Tickets are available from ticketing counters and vending machines accepting coins and banknotes. Trains run 06:00-00:00 on weekdays at 10-11 min intervals and otherwise at 12-13 min intervals. The ride from Suvarnabhumi to Phaya Thai takes about half an hour.

 ARL  is now clearly a commuter train line which makes for busy trains but it is still useful for tourists. Tickets are cheap and there are up and down escalators in addition to lifts if you have baggage. If you board the train at Phaya Thai or Suvarnabhumi you most probably find a seat and space for your bags although the train cars have no luggage racks. At Makkasan station you can roll your bags along a roofed footbridge to Phetchaburi MRT station. At Phaya Thai station most passengers walk forward to the staircases. You need to turn back to the direction from which the train arrived for the lifts going down from the tracks. The lifts may be awfully busy but you will find escalators if you walk further. Once you exit through the ticket gates you can use a footbridge to the Phaya Thai BTS station.

Qayiqda

Chao Phraya Express qayig'i

A ride on the Chao Phraya River should be high on any tourist's agenda. The cheapest and most popular option is the Chao Phraya Express qayig'i. , basically an aquatic bus cruising up and down the river.   The basic service goes from Wat Rajsingkorn (S4) all the way north to Nonthaburi (N30), with stops at most of Rattanakosin's major attractions including the Grand Palace (at Tha Chang) and Wat Pho (at Tha Tien). The closest pier to Khao San Road bu Phra Arthit. Enter the express boat at the numerous piers and pay the conductor for the trip. She will approach you bearing a long metal ticket dispenser. At some bigger piers you can buy the ticket before boarding. When the metal cylinder lady approaches you, just show her the ticket you bought on the pier.

The different boat lines are indicated by the colours of the flags at the top of the boat. These flags can be confusing; don't think the yellow king's flag corresponds to the yellow line flag! The orange flag line (14 baht, every day 06:00-19:00) is your best bet, as it covers the major tourist areas and is fairly quick. However, it does not stop at every pier unlike the basic "no flag" line (8, 10 or 12 baht) which is fairly slow and runs only during rush hours (M-F 06:45-07:30 and M-F 16:00-16:30). It is better to avoid the faster yellow flag line (19 or 29 baht, M-F 06:15-08:10 and M-F 15:30-18:05) since it skips many popular attractions including Khao San Road, the Grand Palace and Wat Pho. The green flag line (10, 12, 19 or 31 baht, M-F 06:10-08:10 and M-F 16:05-18:05) skips many piers but its Pakkred terminus is the closest pier to Ko Kret if you want to spend a weekday there.

In addition to the workaday express boats, there is a blue flagged Tourist Boat which stops at a small subset of piers, offers commentary in English and charges a flat 150 baht for a day pass. Single ride tickets are 40 baht. The boats are slightly more comfortable and may be worth considering if you want to cruise up and down the most important tourist sights. They only operate once per 30 min and stop running by 15:00. Be careful as staff may tell that the (cheaper) orange flag regular boat is not coming for quite a while (as they are aggressively touting for business), but sometimes this is not the truth. If you want the tourist experience with guide and (very) loud speaker commentary, often unintelligible, then this is the one for you. However, be aware that you are fully entitled to enter the public piers (the ones with the blue lettering on white background with pier numbers on them) and take whichever express boat you want since no ticket is needed before boarding.

The signposting of the piers is quite clear, with numbered piers and English route maps. Sathorn (Taksin) pier has been dubbed "Central" station, as it offers an quick interchange to Saphan Taksin BTS Station. The boats run every 5–20 min from sunrise to sunset (roughly from 06:00-19:00), so ignore any river taxi touts who try to convince you otherwise.

Many piers are also served by cross-river ferries. These are particularly useful for reaching Wat Arun or the many piers at the Thonburi side of the river. Cross-river ferries run around every 10 min and only cost 3.5 baht. Pay at the kiosk on the pier and then walk through the turnstile.

Saen Saep Express qayig'i

The Saen Saep Express qayig'i. serves the long Saen Saep Canal, one of the remaining canals (xlong) that used to flow through Bangkok. Mostly used by locals to commute to work, the service is cheap and you get to see the "backside" of the neighbourhoods, so to speak. Also, It is immune to Bangkok's notorious traffic jams. The total distance is 18 km (11 mi), and the service operates from 05:30-20:30.  

They are comparatively safe — just watch your step when boarding and disembarking as they don't stop at the pier for long and do not let the dirty water get into your eyes. To prevent splashes, the boats are equipped with little curtains that you can raise by pulling on a string, but they have to be lowered at every stop so people can clamber on board. Pay the fare (14-22 baht) to the fearless helmet-wearing ticket collectors who clamber around on the outside of the boat, ducking at bridges, as it barrels down the canal. Press the green 'bell' button if you want to get off at the next pier, else the boat might just skip it. The piers now even have (tiny) signs in English, with the exception of The Mall Bangkapi pier, and it's not obvious that you're at the mall from the canal boat!

The canal runs parallel to Phetchaburi Road, and provides the easiest access from the Golden Mount in Rattanakosin (and nearby Khao San Road) to Siam maydoni va Pratunam. This line is aptly called the Golden Mount Line and runs from Panfa Leelard pier to Pratunam iskala. If you want to continue your journey beyond Pratunam, passengers have to change boats there. The NIDA Line starts at Pratunam and heads east to Suxumvit va Ramkhamhaeng. Hold on to your ticket.

River taxi

For trips outside set routes, you can hire a long-tail river taxi at any major pier. These are fairly expensive and will attempt to charge as much as 500 baht/hr, but with some haggling they may be suitable for small groups. To circumvent the mafia-like touts who attempt to get a large cut for every ride, agree for the price of the shortest possible ride (30 min), then negotiate directly with the captain when on board.

Taksida

Metered taxi

Metered taxis are a quick and comfortable way to get around town, at least if the traffic is flowing your way, but be warned that Bangkok taxi drivers are notorious for finding ways to run up the fare; insist that the meter is used, and if the driver claims that your destination is closed, if your destination is unknown, or if you're being taken elsewhere, just get out of the taxi. All taxis are now metered and air-conditioned: the hailing fee is 35 baht and most trips within the city cost less than 100 baht. There are no surcharges (except from the airport), even at night; don't believe drivers who try to tell you otherwise. A red sign on the front window, if lit, means that the taxi is available.

When the meter is switched on you will see a red '35' somewhere on the dashboard or between the driver and you. Be sure to check for this at the start of the ride, as many drivers will "forget" to start the meter in order to overcharge you at the end of your trip. Most will start the meter when asked politely to do so (meter na khrap if you're male and meter na kha if you're female); if the driver refuses to use the meter after a couple of attempts, simply exit the taxi.

In some cases, late at night and especially near major tourist districts like Khao San or Patpong, you will need to walk a block away to catch an honest driver. The effort can save you as much as 150 baht. This is often also the case for taxis that park all day in front of your hotel. There are only two reasons that they are there: to take you places where they can get their commissions (jewellery stores, tailors, massage parlours, etc.) and to overcharge you by not using the meter.

Your best bet is to walk to the road and catch an unoccupied metered taxi in motion (easier than it sounds, as Bangkok traffic tends to crawl the majority of the time, and one car out of four is a taxi), or go to a taxi stand where you see many locals queueing. Avoid taxis parked outside hotels or major tourist attractions, and if a taxi driver refuses to turn the meter on, simply close the door and find one who will. Keep in mind that it is illegal for them to have unmetered fares. Alternatively, you can also call a taxi using a ride sharing app like Grab, though you will be charged a booking fee for the service. Be smart and give your money to honest drivers, not cheats and touts. The only reason why they get away with this so frequently is that foreign tourists let them.

Be sure to either know the correct pronunciation of your destination, or have it written in Thai, as taxi drivers in Bangkok are notoriously bad at reading maps, and most drivers speak limited English. Most hotels and guest houses will happily write out addresses in Thai for you. While most drivers will recognise the names of tourist hot spots, even if grossly mispronounced, but it is often difficult to properly pronounce addresses in Thai. If your mobile phone works in Thailand, it is sometimes useful to call your hotel and ask the staff to speak to your driver in Thai. In addition, try to get your hotel's business card to show the taxi driver in case you get lost.

If you are pinching pennies or fussy about your means of transportation, you may wish to avoid getting into one of the (very common) yellow-green taxis. They are owner-operated and of highly variable quality and occasionally have rigged meters. All other colours belong to large taxi companies, which usually enforce their standards better.

On some routes, the driver will ask if the tollway should be used — this will usually save a lot of time. You have to pay the cost at the toll booth (not in advance and not at the end of the journey). Watch how much the driver really pays, as many try to keep the change.

When getting out, try to have small bills (100 baht or less) or expect problems with change. Tips are not necessary, but are certainly welcome if you're happy about the service; most local passengers will round up or leave any coin change as tip.

Tuk-tuk

What would Bangkok be without the much-loathed, much-loved tuk-tuks? You'll know them when you hear them, and you'll hate them when you smell them — these three-wheeled contraptions blaze around Bangkok leaving a black cloud of smog in their wake. For anything more than a 5-10 min jaunt or just the experience, they really are not worth the price — and, if you let them get away with it, the price will usually be 4 or 5 times what it should be anyway (which, for Thais, is around 30% less than the equivalent metered taxi fare).

On the other hand, you can sometimes ride for free if you agree to visit touristy clothing or jewellery shops (which give the tuk-tuk driver fuel coupons and commissions for bringing customers). The shops' salespeople are pushy, and try to scam you with bad quality suits or "gems" that in fact are worthless pieces of cut glass. But usually you are free to leave after 5-10 min of browsing. Visitors should beware though, sometimes one stop can turn in to three, and tuk-tuk drivers may not be interested in taking you where you need to go once they have their fuel coupons. Also, with Bangkok's densely congested traffic it is sure to waste hours of your time, if not the whole day.

If you still want to try the tuk-tuk, always hail a moving tuk-tuk from the main road. At tourist spots, these tuk-tuk drivers lie in waiting to disrupt your travels plans. Always agree on a price before entering the tuk-tuk. Also be crystal clear about your intended destination. If they claim that your intended destination is closed for the day, and offer to take you to other nearby tourist spots, insist on your destination or get out. If you're an all-male party, tuk-tuk drivers sometimes will just ignore your destination completely and start driving you to some brothel ("beautiful girls"). Insist continually and forcefully on going only to your destination; or take a metered taxi instead.

A songthaew is a less-heralded, less-colourful and less-touristy version of the tuk-tuk that usually serves the back sois in residential neighbourhoods. They usually have four wheels instead of three, two benches instead of one, run on petrol instead of LPG and resemble a tiny truck. The maids and locals tend to use them to return home from the market with loads of groceries, or for quick trips if they're available. The price is not negotiable. Most songthaews cost 5 baht, although a few that go a very long distance charge 7 baht. Be careful though, as the destinations are written in Thai, not English. You pay the fare either before departure or after you get off. If the latter, simply walk up to the passenger side of the truck and pay the driver who will stick his/her hand out to receive your money. Change will be given, but try to have the 5 baht coin ready.

Motorbike taxi

When traffic slows to a crawl and there are no mass-transit alternatives for your destination, by far the fastest mode of transport is a motorbike taxi (มอเตอร์ไซค์รับจ้าง motosai lapjang). They typically wear colourful fluorescent yellow-orange vests and wait for passengers at busy places. Prices should be agreed in advance.

For the adrenaline junkie, a wild motosai ride can provide a fantastic rush. Imagine weaving through rows of stopped vehicles at 50 km/h (30 mi/h) with mere centimetres to spare on each side, dodging pedestrians, other motorbikes, tuk-tuks, stray dogs and the occasional elephant while the driver blithely ignores all traffic laws and even some laws of physics. Now do the same while facing backwards on the bike and balancing a large television on your lap, and then you can qualify as a local — though you might die in the process. Imagine your loved ones arranging to ship your dead body home from Bangkok because you took a dangerous risk you were warned not to. Motorcycle accidents are brutally common, and transportation of this sort is inherently hazardous. Be aware of the risk before using motorcycle taxis.

The overwhelming majority of motorcycle taxis do not travel long distances, but simply shuttle up and down long sois (side-streets) not serviced by other transport for a fixed 5-20 baht fare. These are marginally less dangerous, especially if travel with the flow on a one-way street.

The law requires that both driver and passenger must wear a helmet. It is the driver's responsibility to provide you with one, so if you are stopped by police, any fine is also the driver's responsibility. However the provision of helmets is far from universal. A helmet should be provided when hiring a motorbike or moped, and two if there are two of you. When riding, keep a firm grasp on the seat handle and watch out for your knees.

Avtobusda

Mahalliy avtobuslar, operated by the Bangkok Mass Transit Authority (องค์การขนส่งมวลชนกรุงเทพ).   aka BMTA (ขสมก), are the cheapest but also the most challenging way of getting around. There is a bewildering plethora of routes, usually marked only in Thai. Even locals have a hard time with these, but at least they can call the 1348 Bus Route Hotline, which is in Thai only. Bus stops list only the bus numbers that stop there and nothing more. They are also subject to Bangkok's notorious traffic, often terribly crowded, and many are not air-conditioned. If you want to get somewhere quickly and are not prepared to get lost, the buses should be avoided: remember that taxis are cheaper than most local buses in the West. However, they make for a good adventure if you're not in a rush and you don't mind being the centre of attention.

There is the Viabus app (for Android va IOS) which really helps finding your way around the bus system. In the app you can search for bus stops and bus routes, navigate and even GPS track busses. Also the app is available in English and you can select stops on a map.

Otherwise, for those staying in Khao San Road where buses are the only practical means of public transport, the only free resource for decrypting bus routes is the official BMTA website. It has up-to-date if slightly incomplete listings of bus routes in English, but no maps. You can also ask your guest house about which buses to take if you're going to a particular destination. As a printed reference, the 69 baht spent on the Bangkok Bus Map by Roadway is a good investment if you're going to travel by bus more than once.

The hierarchy of Bangkok's buses from cheapest to best can be ranked as follows:

• Red bus, 8 baht flat fare. Spacious and fan-cooled (in theory). Unlike other buses, some of these run through the night (1.50 baht surcharge). These buses are BMTA-run.
• White/blue/orange bus, 10 baht flat fare. Exactly the same as the red buses, but cost two baht more. These buses are owned by private entities operated in conjunction with BMTA.
• Blue/yellow and cream/blue air-con, 12 baht for the first 8 km (5 mi), up to 20 baht max. These buses are quite comfy. The blue/yellow striped buses are privately owned while the blue/cream buses are BMTA-owned.
• White/Orange air-con (Euro II), 13 baht for the first few km, up to 25 baht max. These are all BMTA-run, newer, and more comfortable.
• Blue air-con (NGV), 15 baht for the first few km, up to 25 baht max. These are run by both private companies and the BMTA, and are the newest and most comfortable buses.

BMTA-owned buses accept contactless payment, using the same fare scheme as normal tickets. The conductor will bring you a machine for you to scan your card. BMTA also offers pre-paid cards, monthly and weelky tickets using the same system. Weekly tickets cost 135 bath for red buses only and 270 bath for all buses. Monthly ticket cost 270 bath for red buses only and 540 bath for all buses.

Buses stop only when needed, so wave them down (arm out, palm down) when you see one barreling your way. Although drivers are only meant to stop at bus stops, some may pick up and drop off passengers elsewhere. Once on board, pay the roaming collector after you board and keep the ticket, as there can be occasional spot-checks. Press the signal buzzer, usually near the door, when you want to get off.

Two further pitfalls are that buses of the same number may run slightly different routes depending on the colour, and there are also express services (mostly indicated by yellow signs) that skip some stops and may take the expressway (2 baht extra).

Airport buses allow luggage but regular buses do not. Enforcement of this rule varies.

By ride share

The main ride sharing company operating in Bangkok is Malaysian company Grab. Unlike Uber, Grab also allows you to book taxis, and gives you the option of paying your driver in cash.

Mashinada

Bangkok is notorious for its massive traffic jams, and rightly so. In addition, traffic is chaotic and motorcyclists seemingly suicidal. Therefore, most tourists consider driving in Bangkok a nightmare, and it is recommended that you stick to public transport. However, the proliferation of massive shopping malls means that there are now places to park if you must drive into town, albeit at a high cost. GPS-ga ega smartfonlar va ovozli ko'rsatmalarga ega navigatsiya dasturlari sizning yo'lingizni topishni osonlashtiradi.

Gavjum ko'chalar bo'ylab issiq havoda uzoq masofalarga yurish charchatishi mumkin, ammo shaharni yaqindan ko'rish uchun yaxshi usuldir. Faqat ko'p miqdorda suv iching va tekis bo'lmagan yuzalar va mototsiklchilarga e'tibor bering.

Imkoniyat mavjud bo'lganda har doim piyodalar uchun yo'l o'tkazgichlardan foydalaning; Bangkokdagi itsiz itlar ulardan foydalanish uchun etarlicha aqlli.

Taksik va tuk-tuk haydovchilari va qaerga ketayotganingizni bilishni talab qiladigan, oldinda hech narsa ko'rinmasligini ta'kidlab, sizni turli xil korxonalarga olib borishga urinayotgan haydovchilar sizni kutib olishadi.

Kanallar

19-asr oxiriga qadar Bangkok (xuddi Ayutthaya singari) "Sharq Venetsiyasi" nomi bilan mashhur bo'lgan. Aksariyat odamlar suvning yaqinida yoki suvda va murakkab tarmoqlar tarmog'ida yashashgan (xlong) shahar aholisi uchun asosiy transport turi bo'lgan. O'shandan beri ko'pgina kanallar asfaltlangan, ammo ularning ko'pi saqlanib qolgan va ba'zilari shu kundan boshlab transport yo'llari sifatida ishlamoqda. An'anaviy kanal hayoti deyarli yo'q bo'lib ketdi, ammo Thonburi 20-asrga qadar deyarli rivojlanmaganligi sababli, hali ham haqiqiyligini topish kerak.

Around the corner from Khao San Road in front of the department store and supermarkets the street is lined with a myriad stalls selling all manner of tempting delicacies: sweets and crackers, coconut jellies, candied fruits, fish balls on skewers, tamarind sweets dipped in chili and sugar and a host of other delights.

Ethnic cuisine

Thai dishes can roughly be categorised into central, northern, northeastern and southern cuisine. What's so great about Bangkok is that all these cuisines are present. Isaan food (from the northeast of Thailand) is popular; generally street restaurants serve on plenty of small plates that can be shared. Som tam (ส้มตำ) is a salad made from shredded and pounded raw papaya — again, it is spicy, but oh so delicious. If you want to dine the Isaan way, also order some khao niew (sticky rice), kay yang (grilled chicken) and moo yang (grilled pork). Isaan food is very spicy; say mai pet yoki pet nit noy to tone it down. Southern Thai cuisine is also worth it; many of them have congregated around Wang Lang in Thonburi. At least try the massaman curry (แกงมัสมั่น), it's delicious.

One of the best places to go to for Chinese food bu Yaowarat. It has a range of street stalls and cheap restaurants selling expensive delicacies at affordable prices. Soi Phadung Dao is the best street for huge seafood restaurants. Try 1 kg of huge barbecued prawns for about 300 baht. That being said, due to the large Thai-Chinese population in Bangkok, Chinese influences pervade much of Bangkok’s culinary scene, and there is also a lot of good Chinese food to be found outside Chinatown, as well as a strong Chinese influence in many of Bangkok's signature street dishes.

Faxurat, Bangkok's Little India, has some decent Indian restaurants.

Yaxshi ovqatlanish

Bangkok is arguably the best city in Southeast Asia for fine dining, and there is no shortage of options for those who can afford to splurge the cash. Fine dining options in Bangkok include French, Italian, Chinese, Indian, Japanese and, of course, Thai. Although exorbitant by Thai standards, fine dining in Bangkok is very affordable compared to similar options in developed countries, and even the most expensive fine dining should not cost you more than 5000 baht per head.

Dinner cruises

Dinner cruises on the Chao Phraya River are a touristy (but fun) way of spotting floodlit temples while chowing down on seafood and watching Thai cultural performances. Most operate buffet-style and the quality of the food is so-so, but there's lots of it and it's not too spicy. While the river can give a romantic experience, it can also be dirty and smelly with lots of plants floating around.

Drinks and tips are usually emas included in the listed prices below. Always make a reservation before heading out to the pier. There are many competing operators, most of them depart from the River Siti pier next to the Si Phraya Express Boat pier. Major operators include:

• Chao Phraya Princess, 723 Supakarn Building, Charoen Nakhorn Rd, ☏ 66 2 860-3700. Departure 19:30. Large operator with four modern air-conditioned boats seating up to 250 people. Departure from River City pier. 1,300 baht. 
• Loy Nava, 1367 Charoen Nakhorn Rd, ☏ 66 2 437-4932. Departure 18:00 or 20:10 daily. This dinner cruise heads out with 70-seater rice barges. Departure from Si Phraya pier (near River City), and there is a free pickup from most hotels. 1,400 baht. 
• Manohra, 257 Charoen Nakhorn Rd, ☏ 66 2 477-0770. Departure 19:30 daily. These restored Thai rice barges seat 40 people. Departure from Marriott Resort pier, with an optional pick-up from Saphan Taksin BTS station. 1,250-1,990 baht. 
• Wan Fah, 292 Rachawongse Rd, ☏ 66 2 222-8679. Departure 19:00 daily. These 2-hr dinner cruises include a set meal of farang-friendly Thai food and seafood, live music and Thai classical dancing. Departure from River City. 1000 baht. 
• Yok Yor Marina, 885 Somdet Chao Phraya Soi 17, ☏ 66 2 863-0565. Departure 20:00. Operated by the famous seafood restaurant, this is a much more local (and cheaper) option than the tourist cruises: pay a 160 baht "boat fee" and then order off the menu at normal restaurant prices. Departure from Yok Yor Marina on the Thonburi side of the river. There is a free shuttle service from Saphan Taksin BTS station.

Bangkok's nightlife is infamously wild, but it's not quite what it used to be. Due to social order campaigns, there have been quite a few crack-downs on opening hours, nudity, and drug use. Most restaurants, bars and clubs are now forced to close at 01:00, although quite a few are allowed to stay open till 02:00 or later. Informal roadside bars do stay open all night, particularly in Suxumvit va Khao San Road. You must carry your pasport for ID checks and police occasionally raid bars and discos, subjecting all customers to drug tests and searches, though these mostly occur at places that cater for high-society Thais.

One of Bangkok's main party districts is Silom, home not only to perhaps the world's most famous go-go bar strip, Patpong, but plenty of more legitimate establishments catering to all tastes. For a drink with a view, the open-air rooftop bars of Vertigo va Sirocco are particularly impressive. A large number of superhip and more expensive bars and nightclubs can be found in the higher sois of Suxumvit, shu jumladan Q Barva Narz, as well as the hip area of Thong Lo (Soi 55).

Hippie hangout Khao San Road is also slowly gentrifying and a score of young artsy Thai teenagers have also made their mark there. Going out in Khao San Road is mostly casual, sitting at a roadside bar watching people pass by, but the Gazebo Club is a nightclub that stays open till the sun gets up. Most of the younger Thais prefer to congregate around Ratchadaphisek, home to the Royal City Avenue strip of nightclubs where you can find popular nightclubs like 808, Route 66, Cosmic Cafe, and more.

RCA, the Royal City Avenue strip, is home to much more than nightclubs. You will be able to find fun karaoke clubs, go-carting, arcades and bars like the Overtone Music Cave which is a place where music students to perform. The Overtone Music Cave is frequently visited by recording artists as well as music students and is becoming a real Bangkok music hot spot.

Smoking is forbidden in all restaurants, bars and nightclubs, whether air-conditioned or non-air-conditioned. It is enforced at some venues, but the ordinance is flouted in areas such as Nana Plaza.

Go-go and beer bars

Behaving while misbehavin' Some simple rules of etiquette to follow in a go-go bar: A drink in your hand is required at all times. Most places charge around 100-150 baht for most drinks. A drink menu with prices will be provided. Lady drinks cost at least 200-300 baht and earn you the privilege of chatting with the lady/gent of your choice for a while. Taking a dancer out of his/her place of employment before closing time will cost you a bar fine of around 600 baht. This is the bar's share, the rest is up to you two. No photos inside. If you're lucky, you'll merely have your camera confiscated, but you also stand a fair chance of getting beaten up. Look, but don't touch (unless invited to). Getting too frisky will get you kicked out. Bring your pasport. Police raids are not uncommon and you're off to the police station for the night if you can't produce one on demand.

The go-go bar is an institution of Bangkok's "naughty nightlife". In a typical go-go, several dozen dancers in bikinis (or less) crowd the stage, shuffling back and forth to loud music and trying to catch the eye of punters in the audience. Some also put on shows where girls perform on stage, but these are generally tamer than you'd expect. Nudity, for example, is actually illegal. These are no Western- or US-style strip clubs. Expect a stage in the middle with seating all around, and 5-10 girls just dancing or standing around on stage in various states of undress. No lap dances, but girls will sit with you for the price of a lady drink. In a beer bar, there are no stages and the girls wear "street clothes".

If this sounds like a thinly veiled veneer for prostitution, it is. Although some point to the large number of American GIs during the Vietnam War as the point of origin of the Thai sex trade, others have claimed that current Thai attitudes towards sexuality have deeper roots in Thai history. Both go-go and beer bars are squarely aimed at the foreign tourists and it's fairly safe to assume that most if not all Thais in them are on the take. That said, it's perfectly OK to check out these shows without partaking, and there are more and more curious couples and even the occasional tour group attending. The main area is around Patpong yilda Silom, but similar bars to the ones at Patpong can be found in Suxumvit, at Nana Entertainment Plaza (Soi 4) and Soi Cowboy (Soi 23). Soi 33 is packed with hostess bars, which are more upscale than the Soi Cowboy and Nana Plaza bars and do not feature go-go dancing. Before heading to these places, be sure to read the Xavfsiz bo'ling section for some additional advice.

As go-go bars close around 01:00, there are so-called after-hour clubs that stay open till the sun comes up. They are not hard to find—just hop in a taxi. Taxi drivers are eager to drive you there, as they get a hefty commission from club owners to bring you to them. You might even get the ride for free. These clubs generally feel grim and edgy, and there are so-called "freelancers" among the girls (prostitutes). Some well-known after-hour clubs include Bossy Club yilda Pratunam, Spicy Club yaqin Siam maydoni and the always famous Thermae kuni Suxumvit between sois 15 and 17 in the basement underneath the Ruamchit short-time hotel.

Gay nightlife

Thais are generally accepting of homosexuality and Bangkok has a very active gay nightlife scene, concentrated in Silom's Soi 2, Soi 4 and a short strip of gay go-go bars known as Soi Twilight (off Surawong Road). Gay strip bars all have free entry, but charge an extra 150 baht or so for drinks. The most popular gay drinking bars are The Balcony va Telephone Pub at Silom Soi 4, which are busy until 23:00. For the disco crowd, DJ Station and its late-night neighbour G.O.D. Club (Silom Soi 2) are packed every night beginning around 23:00. Between 17:00-22:00 over 200 men from around the world cruise, swim, dine, and party at the nearby Bobil, considered by many to be the best gay sauna in the world. Babylon also has budget and luxury accommodation.

All of these bars and clubs are aimed at gay men and the lesbian scene is much more low-key. Since the opening of full-time lesbian bars Zeta va E-Fun, a small lesbian community is starting to emerge along Royal City Avenue. Lesla (near Faxonyotin) is a lesbian bar that is open on Saturday nights only. Bring along your passport for entrance age checking (they do not allow people under 20 years old).

In a league of their own are Bangkok's numerous transsexuals (kathoey), both pre- and post-operative, popularly known as ladyboys. A part of Thai popular culture for ages, kathoey face increasing prejudice as Thailand imports rigid Western gender concepts. Many male Westerners obsess about the risks of "mistaking" a ladyboy for a "real" woman, in the fear that being attracted to them would make of them homosexuals. Tired clichés about "tall, large-handed, large breasted transsexuals with garish makeup" are belied by the fact that most kathoeys strive to blend in with the general population. However, legal change of gender is not possible in Thailand, which means they find it difficult to access many "respectable" jobs. Some work in the famed transvestite cabarets and there are some dedicated kathoey bars as well.

Some Thai regulars in the gay nightlife scene skirt the fine line between partying and prostitution, and the Western visitor, being considered richer, is expected to pay any food and drink expenses and perhaps provide some "taxi money" in the morning. It's usually wise to ask a boy you pick up in a bar or club if he is after money, as it's not uncommon for them to start demanding money after sex.

Book online, save money While most guest houses in Khao San Road do not even bother to have a website, with moderate and upper end hotels you can save a surprisingly large amount of money by booking via the web. In most cases, walk-in rates are known to be about 30% higher than online rates as administration costs are higher and front desk personnel often get paid by commission. When standing inside the hotel's lobby, sometimes it can pay off to use the free Wi-Fi, get online, book for the same night and get it for less! To give an example, some mid-range hotels offer walk-in rates for 1,500 baht the night, but online rates for 1,000 baht. That's five free beers on the hotel! Nevertheless, don't take that as a general rule for Thailand. On some island resorts it's exactly the other way round, and the walk-in rates are only half of the online promoted price, especially in offseason.

Bangkok has a vast range of accommodation, including some of the best hotels in the world — but also some of the worst dives. Broadly speaking, Khao San Road is backpacker city; the riverside of Silom va Thonburi is home to The Oriental va The Peninsula respectively, often ranked among the best in the world, and priced to match, Most of the city's moderate and expensive hotels can be found in Siam maydoni, Suxumvit va Silom, though they also have their share of budget options.

When choosing your digs, think of the amount of luxury you want to pay for — air-conditioning can be advised, as temperatures don't drop below 20 °C (68 °F) at night. Also pay careful attention to Skytrain, metro and express boat access, as a well-placed station or pier could make your stay in Bangkok much more comfortable. In general, accommodation in Bangkok is cheap. It's possible to have a decent double room with hot shower and air-conditioning for about 500 baht/night. If you want more luxury, expect to pay around 1,500 baht for a double room in the main tourist areas. Even staying at one of Bangkok's top hotels only costs around 5,000 baht — the price of a standard double room in much of Europe.

One Bangkok hotel phenomenon is the guest fee of around 500 baht added to your bill if you bring along a newly found friend for the night. Some hotels even refuse Thai guests altogether, especially common in Khao San Road. These rules are obviously aimed at controlling local sex workers, which is why hotel security will usually hold onto your guest's ID card for the duration of the visit, but some hotels will also apply it to Western visitors — or, more embarrassingly, try to apply it to your Thai partner. Look for the signs, or, if in doubt, ask the staff before check-in.

Xavfsiz bo'ling

Given its size, Bangkok is surprisingly safe, with violent crimes like mugging and robbery unusual. One of the biggest dangers are motorbikes who ride on pavements at speed, go through red lights, undertake buses as they stop to let passengers off and generally drive far too fast especially through stationary traffic. If you are going to hire a bike, make sure you have insurance in case you are injured. You may be the world's best driver but you'll meet many of the world's worst drivers in Thailand.

Bangkok does have more than its fair share of scams, and many individuals in the tourist business do not hesitate to overcharge unwary visitors. As a rule of thumb, it is wise to decline all offers made by someone who appears to be a friendly local giving a hapless tourist some local advice. Short-changing tourists is reasonably common as well, don't hesitate to complain if you are not given the correct change.

Never get in a tuk-tuk if someone else is trying to get you into one. Most Bangkok locals do not approach foreigners without an ulterior motive.

Scams

What to do if you fall for the gem scam As long as you're still in Thailand, it's not too late. Contact the Tourist Authority of Thailand, ☏ 66 2 694-1222 yoki Tourist Police, ☏1155 immediately, file a police report, and return to the store to claim a refund — they kerak, by law, return 80%. If your gems have been mailed, contact the Bangkok Mail Centre, ☏ 66 2 215-0966 (-195) immediately and ask them to track your package; they'll find it if you act fast, and know the name, address and date it was mailed.

You should always be on the look-out for scammers, especially in major tourist areas. There are dozens of scams in Bangkok, but by far the most widely practiced is the gem scam. Always beware of tuk-tuk drivers offering all-day tours for prices as low as 10 baht. You may indeed be taken on a full-day tour, but you will end up only visiting one gem and souvenir shop after another. Don't buy any products offered by pushy salespeople — the "gems" are pretty much always worthless pieces of cut glass and the suits are of deplorable quality. The tuk-tuk driver gets a commission if you buy something — and fuel coupons even if you don't. Unless the idea of travelling by tuk-tuk appeals to you, it's almost always cheaper, more comfortable and less hassle to take a metered taxi.

Be highly skeptical when an English-speaking Thai at a popular tourist attraction approaches you out of the blue, telling that your intended destination is closed or offering discount admissions. Temples are almost always free (the main exceptions are Wat Phra Kaeo and Wat Pho) and open just about every day of the year. Anyone telling you otherwise, even if they have an official-looking identification card, is most likely out to scam you, especially if they suggest a tuk-tuk ride to some alternate sights to see until the sight re-opens. At paid admission sites, verify the operating hours at the ticket window.

If you entered one of these tuk-tuks, touts will often drop you off at a certain place, such as a genuine Buddhist temple. Here you will find a man that claims to be an official, and he guides you in a certain direction. There you will find another "official" who also claims that a certain attraction is closed. This way, a tourist hears the same statement by multiple people, and is more eager to believe that his or her intended destination indeed is closed. Never get involved with these scammers or believe any of their statements.

When getting a taxi, it is a good idea to hail a moving taxi from the main road, or to walk a short distance out of a major tourist area before looking for one. This is no guarantee of honesty, but greatly increases your chances of finding an honest driver, of which there are plenty in Bangkok, even if it sometimes seems that every driver is on the make. There are some taxi drivers who switch off their meters, and insist on an unreasonable price. Most of the untrustworthy drivers are the ones standing still in tourist areas. Another important rule of thumb is to insist on the meter for taxis and agree on a price in advance for tuk-tuks. If they refuse, or quote unreasonable prices, just walk out and get a different one as they're rarely in short supply. The Thai phrase to ask a driver to use the meter is mee-TOE, khap if you're male and mee-TOE, kha if you're female.

Beware of tuk-tuk or taxi drivers who approach you speaking good English or with an "I ♥ farang" sign, especially those who mention or take you to a tailor shop (or any kind of business). They are paid by inferior tailor shops to bring tourists there to be subjected to high pressure sales techniques. If at any point your transportation brings you somewhere you didn't intend or plan to go, walk away immediately, ignore any entreaties to the contrary, and find another taxi or tuk-tuk.

In general, never ask a taxi driver for a recommendation for something. They will likely take you to a dubious place where they get a commission. In particular, do not ask a taxi driver for a restaurant recommendation. An infamous place taxi drivers take unsuspecting tourists is Somboon D, which is a terrible seafood restaurant in a seedy area under the train tracks on Makkasan Road (☏ 66 2 6527-7667). A typical meal there costs 800 baht per person and it comes with little seafood, no service and complaints are not taken by the management.

Also beware of private bus companies offering direct trips from Bangkok to other cities with "VIP" buses. There are a lot of scams performed by these private bus companies. The so-called direct VIP trips may end up changing three or four uncomfortable minibuses to the destination, and the 10-11-hour trip may well turn into 17–18 hr. Instead, try to book public Transport Co. buses from the main bus terminals. It's worth the extra shoe-leather, as there have been reports of robberies on private buses as well.

Go-go bars

Bangkok is known for its go-go bars and the prostitution that comes along with it. Some aspects of prostitution are illegal (e.g. soliciting, pimping), but enforcement is rare, and brothels are common. It's not illegal to pay for sex or to pay a "barfine" (a fee the bar collects if you want to take an employee away).

The age of consent in Thailand is 15, but is 18 for prostitutes. Penalties for sex with minors are harsh. All adult Thais must carry an identity card, which will state the year of their birth according to the Buddhist calendar. Many hotels retain the ID cards of prostitutes for the duration of their visit. Whilst most prostitutes are employed by bars or similar businesses, some are "freelancers". Petty theft and other problems, such as slipping the customer sleep drugs, are allegedly more common with these freelancers (although still relatively rare). HIV and AIDS awareness is better than it used to be, but infection statistics among entertainment industry workers remain high; freelancers are the highest risk group. Almost all sex workers insist on using condoms.

While walking in go-go bar areas is generally safe, you have to be cautious of touts who try to drag you into the upstairs bars with offers of ping-pong shows and 100-baht beer. The beer may well be 100 baht, but the "show" you'll be treated to will be 1,000 baht or more. The rule of thumb is that if you cannot see inside from street level, avoid the establishment.

Animal abuse

Elephants are a large part of Thailand's tourist business, and the smuggling and mistreatment of elephants for tourist attractions is a widespread practice. Be aware that elephants are often separated from their mothers at a young age to be cruelly trained under captivity for the rest of their lives. It is advised to take an elephant ride only at animal friendly organisations.

A depressingly common sight on the congested streets of Bangkok is elephant begging. During night hours, mahouts (trainers) with lumbering elephants approach tourists to feed the creatures bananas or take a photo with them for a fee. The elephants are brought to the city to beg in this way because they are out of work and are mistreated and visibly distressed under the conditions of the city. Please avoid supporting this cruelty by rejecting the mahouts as they offer you bananas to feed the elephants. This is especially common in Silom and Sukhumvit.

Due to its location, lax laws, and resources, many illegal animal products come through Bangkok. Rare and endangered species are often sold at markets for pets, especially at Chatuchak, and many other animal products are sold as luxury items. Avoid buying rare pets, leather, ivory, talons, dried sea creatures (such as starfish), fur, feathers, teeth, wool, and other products since they are most likely the result of illegal poaching, and buying them contributes greatly to animal endangerment and abuse.

Political unrest

2008 yilda, political unrest hit the headlines, with the yellow-shirt People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD) closing down both of Bangkok's airports for a week. Several people were killed in the resulting political violence. After a PAD-backed prime minister was elected, the protests ceased for a while, but the situation remained unstable. In 2010, new political unrest surfaced with red-shirt protesters from the United Front for Democracy Against Dictatorship (UDD) occupying much of Sukhumvit and surrounding areas. These protests turned violent when government troops tried to take back parts of central Bangkok that had been seized by protesters. In 2011, a UDD supported government took power. Since then, protests by both the PAD and UDD have continued to occur on a sporadic basis depending on what political event has transpired. Always follow the independent press for the newest political developments and stay away from demonstrations.

Food and water

As elsewhere in Thailand, be careful with what you eat. Outside of major tourist hotels and resorts, stay away from raw leafy vegetables, egg-based dressings like mayonnaise, unpackaged ice cream and minced meat as hot weather tends to make food go bad faster. In short, stick to boiled, baked, fried or peeled goods.

Tap water in Bangkok is said to be safe when it comes out the plant, but unfortunately the plumbing along the way often is not, so it's wise to avoid drinking the stuff, even in hotels. Any water served to you in good restaurants will at least be boiled, but it's better to order sealed bottles instead, which are available everywhere at low prices.

Take care with ice, which may be made with tap water of questionable potability as above. Some residents claim that ice with round holes is made by commercial ice makers who purify their water; others state that it is wise not to rely on that claim.

Internet

Due to the surge of mobile connectivity, Internet cafés are not common as they used to be. If you look carefully, you may find them in tourist districts such as Khao San Road for around 30-60 baht per hour.

Many cafés and pubs do offer free Wi-Fi to their customers, including the ubiquitous Qahva dunyosi chain in all of its branches; ask staff for the password. TrueMove offers both free and paid Wi-Fi access. If you want to get online for free, you must register first, and both session and time is limited. Their network is accessible in many malls, including Siam maydoni, and sometimes can be available from your room if you stay in a nearby hot-spot — just look for the 'truewifi' network, you can register. Most hotels and guest houses provide free Wi-Fi.

There is not a lot of free Wi-Fi available in old districts like Rattanakosin yoki Yaowarat. Even at McDonald's and Starbucks, Wi-Fi is not free or not available at all.

If you are staying for more than a couple of days and prefer to stay connected without being limited to hotspots, a prepaid SIM card with mobile data is a good option. Being able to use a smartphone for navigation and reviews is very useful in a city where recommendations and directions offered by locals are not always reliable. Ga qarang Telephone section for details.

Telephone

The area code for Bangkok is 02. You only need to dial the 0 if you're calling from within Thailand. Pay phones are not commonplace, as most Thais have a mobile phone. If you want to avoid high roaming costs, you can buy a local SIM card for 100 baht at Suvarnabhumi Airport or mobile phone shops throughout the city. The 100 baht is not just for the SIM card, but is immediately your first pre-paid amount. Topping it up is easy, such as at 7-Eleven convenience stores. Making international calls is also cheaper this way.

As of July 2014, the True booth at Suvarnabhumi Airport is offering free tourist Sim cards preloaded with 10 baht calling credit as well as 20 MB of 3G access.

Post

Bangkok's red post boxes are found all over the city. There are also plenty of Thailand Post offices around for sending post and packages. In tourist areas, there are post offices in the Khao San Road area (in front of Wat Bowonniwet) and at Sukhumvit Road (between Soi 4 and 6).

If you're staying in Bangkok for a longer time, you might want to make use of poste restante, so other people can send you letters or parcels using a post office's address. Post offices keep the letters for at least two months. Letters sent via poste restante must have the receiver's name on it, with the family name in underlined capital letters. If you want to pick them up near Khao San Road (opposite Wat Bowonniwet), it must be addressed to Poste Restante, Banglamphubon Post Office, Bangkok, 10203, Thailand. If you want to pick up your post in the Sukhumvit area, address it to Poste Restante, Nana Post Office, Sukhumvit Road, Bangkok, 10112, Thailand.

Medical care

Many people go to Bangkok to undergo medical treatments that are a fraction of the cost charged in their home countries. While public hospitals can be understaffed and overcrowded with long wait times, private hospitals are among the best in the world. The best-regarded, and most expensive (though still affordable by Western standards), is Bumrungrad International Hospital, which attracts about 400,000 foreign patients per year or an average of 1,000 a day. There are also other hospitals, such as Samitivej, Bangkok Hospital va BNH Hospital, that specialize in serving foreigners. Private hospitals in Thailand are accredited by the government according to international standards, and many of the doctors in Thailand hold international accreditation and relevant licences. Staff in private hospitals are generally able to speak English well, and sometimes other foreign languages as well.

Popular treatments, ranging from cosmetic, organ transplants and orthopedic treatments to dental and cardiac surgeries, are available much cheaper than in the West. For example, Bumrungrad Hospital charges 90,000 baht for an all-inclusive breast implant package. Bangkok is also known as a centre for sexual reassignment surgery for people wishing to change their physical sex, although this falls out of the scope of a casual trip.

There are many dental clinics with English-speaking dentists and staff. The largest of them is the Bangkok International Dental Center along Ratchadaphisek Road. There are also plenty of well known teeth whitening, implant and orthodontic providers like BFC Dental,Denta Joy, smile and co dental clinic, Cosdent by SLC, SmileDC va Care Dental Clinic.
