Getting around Thailand as a group is easy once you know your options. From tuk-tuks to trains, everything is affordable and accessible.
1. Use Grab or Bolt for Short Rides
Both apps work like Uber and are safer than hailing random taxis.
Book a 6-seater or split rides for convenience.
2. Minivans for Intercity Travel
Going from Bangkok to Pattaya or Phuket to Krabi?
Minivans are fast, cheap, and perfect for small groups.
3. BTS and MRT Trains in Bangkok
These are clean, safe, and great during traffic hours.
Buy a Rabbit Card to avoid ticket lines if you plan to use it often.
4. Tuk-Tuks: Fun but Costly
They’re great for short city rides and the experience.
Always agree on the price before getting in—rates vary wildly.
5. Songthaews in Islands and Towns
These are pickup trucks with seats in the back.
They work like shared taxis and cost less than private transport.
6. Ferries for Island Hopping
Phuket to Phi Phi? Krabi to Railay?
Ferries are scenic, safe, and often the only option.
7. Group Car Rentals for Flexibility
Rent a van with a driver for full-day trips.
It’s ideal for temples, waterfalls, or beaches far from the city.
8. Use Maps and Apps
Google Maps works well in most cities.
Grab, Rome2Rio, or 12Go Asia help with routes, prices, and bookings.
Traveling in a group doesn’t have to be chaotic.
Plan ahead, use apps, and stick together—it makes every ride smoother.
