explore the country by motorbike. Most roads are marked in Thai and English so it is
pretty straightforward to find your way around.
Night buses are a great way to save on a night's accommodation and get from A to B.
Travelling in Thailand by bus is getting more organised. Rather than just rocking up
at the bus stop in the hope they will have space to fit you on, you can now book
tickets in advance for most of South East Asia using 12Go.
For short distances, tuk tuks are your best bet although Uber is slowly but surely
taking over and often works out cheaper. Keep an eye on your shit when in a tuk tuk.
Hitchhiking in Thailand
Thailand is a great country to hitchhike in! But you have to be persistent and make
sure the locals understand where you need to go or you will end up getting dropped
at a bus station. Hitching a ride in Thailand is pretty safe and easy; just find a good
spot where the traffic is nice and slow and stick out your thumb. If you are
backpacking Thailand on your own, there is a good chance you can hitch a ride with
motorbike riders.
