What taxi apps to use for thailand?Is walking/crossing the street hard in Bangkok/Pattaya?Is taking the train to Chiang Mai advisable or is it too far?My phone is kind of broken, so I thought I'd just buy an unlocked phone in the USA before going and then use a sim card from 7/11, would that work?
Also how much do taxis cost anyway, say to get from midtown/chinatown Bangkok to Nana how much would that cost?
Not your personal search engine
>>2749296Use Tuk-tuks, tried and tested and will never scam you.It is illegal to jaywalk, and you do NOT want to end up in a Thai prison.There are no trains to Chiang Mai, that part of the country has not reached such a level of technological development yet.Phones do not work in Thailand.
For cabs use Grab.
>>2749300>Also how much do taxis cost anyway, say to get from midtown/chinatown Bangkok to Nana how much would that cost? I sometimes wonder if I'm like a modern superhero or something for being able to figure things out like these on the go
>>2749303>>2749304>>2749330Why do people think it's some "own" to be useless on a board that's basically specifically for FAQs...People on this board constantly go out of their way to argue over which taxi apps are good to use in Thailand, god forbit someone ask about it specifically...
>>2749296There’s a fucking Thai general you piece of shit. Fuck you
>>2749398chill bro. OP just wants to create another coom thread
>>2749422Nope, a taxifaggots rightful place is way down the general thread where nobody has to give a fuck about his little piddly transportation issue that can be answered with a google search
>>2749346They think they're special or that they Travel The Right Way if they choose to "figure out things on the go" They think they're better somehow, I don't get where their thinking comes from. Maybe they feel like they're special for going to a different place, that just makes them look like hicks that make a big deal out of travel For me, I like to ask for as many details as possible so I don't have to struggle where I don't need to and can get on with relaxing and enjoying myself
>>2749296>buy an unlocked phone and then use a sim card from 7/11That's the best option. Alternately you can go to a market and find a secondhand phone for sale. >is walking or crossing the street while hard advised in Bangkok/Pattaya?You might experience a lot of banter in Thai from people you pass by if your package is of notable dimensions Otherwise, it's of no importance.>taking the train to Chiang MaiDo whatever you want. It's retarded to ride a train from the beginning to the very end of the line and then complain that the train ride is too long. If you wanted a shorter ride you could've stopped at any of the places along the way. >>2749300$3-4 USD in baht for a 6-8 km ride is typical.>>2749883It's like asking the restaurant staff... >How much food should I put on my fork? >How long should I chew each bite? >How often should I take a sip of water while eating?Of course they're gonna tell you to stop being a retard and figure it out yourself.>b-but I need to know everything in advance, otherwise how will I be able to eat?You figure it out as you go. Encounter a problem, find a solution. That's how the human brain works.
