Getting Around in Bangkok

Once in Bangkok, transportation from Suvarnabhumi Airport to the hotel have. If you have transport booked in advance, it is his task only to find the driver mass of people outside the baggage claim.
If you do not have a travel booking you have several options. Stay in a 5-star hotel offers free transportation to the hotel, but most likely to pay that to you one way or another.
If you have time and know where the hell is going on, you can take a bus to the hotel. This is not recommended for people traveling for the first time. Taxi to do.
Book a taxi ahead of time online, by e-mail. Most boards Bangkok can you recommend a good driver in a good pace. The only problem is to find the driver on arrival. If you have your phone number and key, tri-band phone with SIM card in Thailand, you can place a call.

If you no longer ordered, the fight against the mafia taxi at the edge of the baggage hall. They were harassed by men and women from the clipboard and asks: "Where are you?" You have to fight hard when you have two suitcases and hand luggage. But if you go on and ignore the fact that you need to make their way down the stairs.
Please refer to the second floor of the station and the airport taxi to arrive on the first floor. You go down and you will see table book set for tours. Entitled to speak English, and I know most hotels in the city. Tell them where to go and register and give you a receipt. Pay 50 baht for a service, but it's worth it as a taxi driver registration.
Your taxi is to use the subway, but I can not tell you, select the tool and give a price. One can assume, negotiate or insist on the meter. It is up to you. I recommend going with the meter and provide a small tip for good service. Council of the 20 or 40 baht is enough if you have a good shot, the driver and helped secure their luggage.
When reading from Bangkok, you can travel through the BTS. If the transport system in Bangkok. I accepted, and you can save time without having to go through millions of cars on the streets of Bangkok. There is also a subway system to do the turn of the century
Buses are the main means of transport for the masses in Bangkok. They are cheap, but they usually run and not have air conditioning. If you are very weak, I can not recommend the bus.
There are also accessible on foot. If you are within walking distance of a unique experience in Bangkok is. You never know what the next corner. Buy a new experience to try to sell food or new restaurants. I love walks in Thailand and experience the sights, sounds and smells. Every corner is different.
No matter what ever you use, you will see amazing city. Bangkok is indeed the city of Los Angeles.
