Bangkok Transpotting
Taxi is the most expensive public transport in Bangkok - the flag down is the most expensive compared to the cheapest minimum of any in the city. BTS's cheapest charge is 20bht, motorcycle taxi 10bht (if it's very near and not in the city proper), the tuktuk maaaaybe 40bht, the songtaews so much lower, and the BRT (as of now because is still within the promo phase) at 10bht. The 10bht of the BRT is from one end to the other which is Ratchapruek - walking distance from where I live, to Sathorn - walking distance to where I work. :D This is precisely why I prefer the BRT. There are of course, other, more expensive choices. My place is also near the BTS. Ok, the BRT might take more time than the BTS, but I like the travel time. It's time alone with my self and my thoughts - a rarity considering I have a family at home and an office to go to. 40 minutes of time to yourself. I particularly like the fact that it is not short distance travel of a few rides. I prefer one long ride ...
