17 Reasons to Skip Bangkok and Visit This Northern Thailand City Instead

Tuk-tuks — the well-known means of transportation in Thailand — are easy to find, inexpensive (we're talking a few dollars to get across the city), and quick. For 60-100 Thai Baht (about $3 USD) depending on your bartering skills, a driver will be happy to take tourists to all the best spots in the city, or anywhere else off-the-beaten-path you'd like to go. Locals typically take motorbikes or drive cars to get around.
