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 to 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.
