Songthaew Share Taxi

Bangkok uses a lot of different means of public transport and each has its advantages and disadvantages. Songthaew collective taxis are rather unconventional, they are converted pick-up trucks, whose cargo area is covered. On the back there are two benches on the side. The Songthaew collective taxis drive fixed routes, but unlike a public bus, the Songthaew shared taxis do not stop at fixed stations, but virtually wherever you want to get in and out.

The disadvantage is that you first have to find out on which routes the Songthaew Taxis go. Not every driver speaks English, so that an agreement makes traveling little bit difficult. But if you have an approximate idea where you want to go, it can not hurt to question on the way there the next taxi that meets you and goes in that direction.

Comfortable.

  • Public transport that seems very comfortable.

What would be unthinkable in our transport system is everyday life in Bangkok. The ride in a Songthaew Taxi can be quite relaxed. Of course there are two benches where you can sit down. Should it be full, then you have the opportunity to sit down at the entrance on the ground or to stand firmly on the poles as an experienced passenger. But you should do this only if you are absolutely sure that you can hold on tight enough, it looks easier than it is and if the Songthaew Taxi unexpectedly fast & jerky starts, you can quickly lose hold.
