What is the safest area in Bangkok?

Silom is considered one of the safest areas in Bangkok. It is a business district with a strong police presence, making it secure for tourists. The area offers a range of accommodations, dining, and shopping options. It is well-connected by public transportation, including the BTS Skytrain and MRT subway, which enhance safety and convenience.

For additional safety, stay alert to pickpockets in crowded places and use hotel safes for valuables. Stick to well-lit streets at night and opt for registered taxis or rideshare services. It is advisable to drink bottled water, as the tap water in Bangkok is generally not recommended for drinking.

What's the best transportation in Bangkok?

Bangkok offers several transportation options, each suitable for different needs. The BTS Skytrain and MRT subway are efficient for avoiding traffic, with fares ranging from 16 to 59 THB ($0.45 to $1.60).

Taxis are metered, starting at 35 THB ($1), but expect heavy traffic during peak hours. Tuk-tuks provide a unique experience, but fares should be negotiated in advance. Motorbike taxis are useful for short distances. Ride-sharing apps like Grab are widely used.

For river travel, Chao Phraya Express Boats are available, with fares starting at 15 THB ($0.40). Public buses are the cheapest option, but routes may be confusing for newcomers. Always ensure to have small change for public transport and be cautious during rush hours.

Hua Hin to Bangkok Destination Reviews

KW
Very friendly Train Conductor. Very professional and experience in converting from seats to beds. Had a good night sleep too. A very pleasant rustic feel taking this train. Everyone should try before they are all converted to the more modern ones. Forget about punctuality if you are taking.

The bus left on time and picked up some people on the way. We had also a stop for toilet at the middle of the trip. The bus can go up to the bus station inside BKK. Getting the ticket on site beforehand was 50 baht cheaper.

The driver stopped to get fuel for 15 minutes, too bad the car was not refueled before. Otherwise, the driver was pleasant and kind

2nd class sleeper was fine. The compartment is cool and relatively comfortable. I couldn’t get an accurate read on when we would arrive based on the Thai train timetable and what was listed on my ticket. I couldn’t tell if 12go had the wrong arrival time and/or we were late. But I got where I needed to go.
