Text of the article:
Once in Bangkok, you need to find transportation from Suvarnabhumi, the international airport to your hotel. If you have booked in advance to transport your only task will be to the driver in the mass of humanity outside of the luggage.

If you do not already have your trip, you have a little choice. Stay in a 5-star hotel in May qualify you for free in the hotel, but more than likely that you are somehow making a.

If you have time and know where the hell you are going, you can then take the bus to your hotel. This is not recommended for the first traveler. A taxi is the way to go.

Can you take a taxi in advance online via e-mail. Most forums Bangkok can recommend a good driver with a reasonable rate. The only difficulty is to your driver upon arrival. If you know the number of mobile phones and unlocked, tri-band phone with a Thai SIM card, call to his position.

If you are not registered to come, you are against the mafia with a taxi just outside the luggage. They hounded by men and women, clipboard and asked: “Where you go?” They are difficult to combat, if you have two suitcases and bags continue on. But if you continue and ignore, you must use the stairs down.

The arrivals are in the 2nd Floor of the airport and the official taxi is on the first floor. Take the escalator and you see tables to your trip. These people speak English and useful to know that most hotels in the city. Suffice it to say to them, wherever you go and they will connect and give you a receipt. You pay 50 baht for the service, but it is worth, that the taxi drivers will.

Your taxi meter should be, but he insists that May is not the counter and give you a price. You listen, to negotiate, or on the counter. It is for you. I recommend you go with the player and a tip for good service. A 20 or 40 baht tip enough, if you have a good, safe road and your driving license with Kofferpacken.

When you Bangkok, you can turn on the BTS. The system of transportation of Bangkok. It is for the training and education costs, you can save a lot of time, without the millions of cars on the streets of Bangkok. Also there is a Subway, so you go around po

The buses are the main means of transport for the masses, in Bangkok. They are cheap, but they are always packed, the gills and have no air conditioning. Unless you are dirt poor, I do not recommend the bus.

It is also within walking distance. If you only have a short, walking can be a unique experience in Bangkok. You never know what the next corner. A new warehousing experience, a meal or try a new restaurant. I love Thailand and from around the experiences of the sights, sounds and smells. Every corner is different.

Regardless of the type of transportation you decide to use, you will see a fantastic city. Bangkok is the city of angels.
