Getting Around



Thailand has quite an extensive air service served by a number of domestic carriers. Some very cheap flights are available. Government buses are prolific and private buses run between major tourist and business destinations. Private buses can be booked through travel agencies. Government buses are just as comfortable. You tend to get what you pay for in terms of comfort. There are four main railway lines with several side routes making a fairly good network. Trains have comfortable sleeper carriages but are slower than the buses and must be booked ahead, particularly around holidays. Train journeys are a nice way to see the countryside. Third class on the train is often the cheapest way to travel.
