The streets of Bangkok are busy. The law of the strongest applies here, and it does not favor pedestrians. Basically, you just have to cross the street and hope for the best. The same applies to Tuk Tuks, small, basically self-made Taxis. There is a saying in Bangkok: “If you aren’t able to pass your driving exam, you drive Tuk Tuk!”. Still, it’s part of the experience and definitely an excellent way to get to know the city. Usually, you have a Tuk Tuk for a whole day, and it brings you to the major sights, just be careful if it seems too cheap (20 Bat), because then some drivers like to bring you to suit shops first to cash in some commission.
