By Taxi
Taxis are metered and they charged a minimum of 35 THB for the first kilometer and approx. 5 THB/km after that. A surcharge is applied in traffic jams (1.50 THB/m). So when there's not much traffic at night, they're definitely the best way of getting around.

Express way if needed, the passengers are requested to pay for between 25 and 45 THB.

  
By Tuk-Tuk
Riding on a Tuk Tuk, a unique Thailand motorised three wheels ‘taxi’ which gets its name from the sound of its engine. It is just popular for a short journey. Fares always have to be bargained in advance. The initial price they quote is likely to be well over the going rate, but it's easy to bargain it down to a more reasonable one if you know roughly the equivalent taxi fare. Minimum fare is 30 THB for up to 3 kilometers.
