Bangkok Buses

Buses in Bangkok are plentiful and cheap, the regular bus fares are incredibly low. Air-conditioned buses and micro-buses are only fraction more expensive. A bus route map is always available at most hotels and bookshops.

At busy hours buses don't always stop at every bus stop, they just slow down and its up to you to get on or off. Also if they are unable to get over to the kerb, they won't, they will just drop people off in the middle of the street, so be prepared to get off when you think its your stop.

There are three types of buses, Micro-buses, air-conditioned and non- air-conditioned. Since the price difference is very little it's advisable to take the superior Micro-buses or the blue or orange/buff colored buses for they are all air-conditioned.
