Rickshaws/ Samlors
These three-wheeled bicycles are used to transport 1-2 people
a short distance. Prices should be negotiated BEFORE getting
in. Roughly 30-60 Baht is reasonably for those few kilometers.
Tuk-tuks
The motorized version of the samlors were introduced here
by the Japanese during WWII. These are always popular with
tourists, though they are uncomfortable in heavy traffic
(carbon monoxide indulgence) and the rainy season, and are
extremely noisy. Prices should be negotiated BEFORE getting
in. Roughly 30-60 Baht is reasonably for those few kilometers.
Hired Car
If you want to go your own way, there are many car hire
firms in Thailand, including international rental companies
such as Hertz and Avis. The road system is good and well
sign - posted. An international driving license is required.
Hired Mopeds
Mopeds and motorbikes are extremely popular and highly available
in most provincial towns, especially the seaside resort
towns. Average price for one day's rent may be as low as
200-300 Baht, depending on the type of moped/motorbike.
