Normal fare starts at Bt20 for very short distances and not over Bt 100 for a longer trip. |

| | | | Can be found at the entrance of "Soi" and major areas through out Bangkok. Easy to recognize and diffirentiate from the typical motorcycle rider with the use of colorful vast and the number on the back. Motorcycle Taxi is quite dangerous for people who has never been on a motorcycle before but extremely popular among Bangkokians because of the traffic congestion. Fares must be bargained in advance. Fares : very similar to those charged by tuk-tuk. |

| | | | [Chao Phraya Express]
Taxis that are even more unusual, though equally convenient, are the river taxis that ply the Chao Phraya river. Some are just cross river ferries, but others, Chao Phraya Express, serve the many landing stages on both banks and cover a route that goes up as far as the northern suburb of Nonthaburi. Long-tailed boats could be hired for special river tours. |
