Getting Around

Public transport is pretty interesting here... There are mainly 5 types of public transport here... There are Taxi-meter(normal taxi), taxi(more like a motor car), motorcycle, bus & van... You do not need to pay the fare before you board the transport. So when the transport arrived, just board the vehicle and find yourself a comfortable seat. For buses, the conductor will approach you to ask where you are going and issue you a ticket when you paid the correct fare. Oh...you have to tell the location in Thai... so you need to know thai to travel around... at least the numbers and the location you plan to go! Everywhere looks the same to me... so sometimes I will alight @ the wrong stop thus will have to walk back to the correct stop... Sob Sob... But I am slowly getting the hang of it...
