It is a very picturesque airport, with a beautiful wooden terminal. But as it is a private airport that belongs to Bangkok Airways, sometimes the flights can be very expensive, an internal flight can cost more than a flight to Europe, it is just a matter of looking for flights well in advance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Surat Thani International Airport (URT)<\/strong>: is the main airport in the Surat Thani region in southern Thailand.

To give you an idea, in Chiang Mai for tours within the city I never paid more than 50 bahts, from Doi Suthep to the city it was about 80 bahts. Then, in Koh Samui the distances were much greater and I paid about 150 bahts, but they had tours that cost much more.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>How and when is it paid?<\/strong>: Payment is made in cash when you get off, so it is advisable that you have small bills and some coins. If there are few people you can do it from the little window of the <em>songthaew<\/em> that connects with the cabin where the driver is, especially if it rains. Although the most common thing is that you get off and go to where the driver is to pay him.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>How do I notify the driver that I want to get off?<\/strong>: in some <em>songthaew<\/em> There is a button on the roof to notify the driver. If not, you tell them, for example \u00ab<em>Big Buddha stop, please<\/em>\u00ab. Normally, they remember what your stop is, but don&#039;t trust them either, lest they forget.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/viajerosactivos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/transporte-publico-en-tailandia.jpg\" alt=\"public-transport-in-thailand\" class=\"wp-image-11193\" srcset=\"https:\/\/viajerosactivos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/transporte-publico-en-tailandia.jpg 750w, https:\/\/viajerosactivos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/transporte-publico-en-tailandia-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Songthaew in Phuket<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Taxis_y_tuk-tuks_en_Tailandia\"><\/span>Taxis and tuk-tuks in Thailand<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You will find taxis in Thailand almost anywhere, as you would in other parts of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, <strong>Tuk-tuks are a mainly tourist means of transport<\/strong>.

If you want to pay little, it will be more cost-effective to go with an excursion.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Get ready for the splashes<\/strong>: although the speed at which they go is not like fast boats, but you can get a little splashed.
