Mode of Transportation in Bkk
Taxi in Bangkok
There are lots of taxis in Bangkok basically in 2 sets of colour combination. Yellow/green and blue/red. I was informed that the blue/red is from goverment control company while the other is private-run co. According to fellow spansioner, the number of taxis in bangkok shoot up tremendously after 1997 financial crisis where most employers laid off thousands of workers. Most of them ventured into public transportation. Now i inderstand, the infamous bangkok traffic jam is mostly caused by too many taxis on the road.
Another interesting point about taxis in Bangkok is that most of 'em are brand new Toyota Corolla Altis, the car that is listed in my wish list.
Another popular, cheap but dangerous mode of transportation available in Bangkok is tuk-tuk. You can find it almost anywhere on Bangkok street. Dont dare to try one as i cant tolerate the drivers antic.
[wonder their traffic is worse than kl...]
