Where development is concerned, transportation is considered one of the most advanced aspects in Thailand with a railway and bus system that connects to adjoining countries as well. Most travellers even compare the transport system here with advanced and efficient systems featured in the USA and European countries.
The main modes of advanced forms of transport are bus services, railway and the metro links. And since the country is one of the main tourist destinations in the world, a lot of investments go in to the constant development and maintenance of these systems. Neighbouring countries such as Laos, Myanmar and Cambodia are connected to Thailand through these transport networks and travellers can easily visit cities such as Bangkok, Chumphon, Ratchaburi, Surat Thani, and Chiang Mai using these connections.

One can even choose between air-conditioned and non air-conditioned when choosing buses. Within the cities also there is network that provided efficient transport using smaller busses.

Apart from these there is also a good arrangement when it comes to taxis, tuk-tuks, as well as cars, jeeps, vans and motorcycles for hire. And for that unique Thai experience try the Songthaeo – a small pickup truck with two wooden benches.
