Check the time

To navigate Bangkok, you have a lot of transportation options. Land options are local bus, express bus, skytrain, metro and tuk tuk. Water crossing the only option is the river taxi but they have four varying comfort levels and prices. If it is anywhere near rush hour you won't get anywhere by tuk tuk or bus. The traffic is literally stand still for hours. You may not get to rest your bum or have any oxygen to breathe but the metro and skytrain are the way to go during rush hour. River taxi is beautifully scenic but pretty inconvenient with it's stations. For all the poor souls trying to travel with a low expense account, take the bus of you can. It is 10 cents. Public transit should get it's act together back home!
