Thailand Lovers
Boat, bus, skytrain, subway, motorbike, taxi, songthaew: there are many ways to get around Bangkok. In addition to an overwhelming number of options, Bangkok’s streets are home to some of the worst traffic in the world: just ask the drivers in Bangkok who were stuck in traffic for an average of 64.1 hours in 2016. Chiang Mai, however, makes it easy for visitors to travel from point A to point B. Trucks with two benches, otherwise known as songthaews, circle the city center, making it easy for commuters to jump on and off as they please. The city’s light traffic also makes it certainly less terrifying to rent a motorbike and zoom around the city.
