Tuk tuks
Tuk tuks are three-wheeled open-air vehicles that offer an interesting ride. They are best used for shorter trips during off-peak hours when the pollution is not as bad. Settle the fare before proceeding. The cost can often be more expensive than the price of a comparable journey by taxi. In wet weather riding in a tuk tuk can be dangerous.
Motor bike taxis
When the streets are jammed, hopping on a motor bike may be the only way you will get to your destination on time. However, the journey can be hair-raising as the bike weaves in and out of the traffic. Fares on motor bike taxis are very cheap but it is not advisable to get on a motor bike taxi if the driver cannot supply you with a helmet. If you’re worried about the speed ask the driver to bai chaa chaa (go slow). A face mask may help you cope with the pollution. Keep in mind that your driver may be under-age and without a license. Motor bike taxis will also act as couriers and make small deliveries.
