Motorbike Taxi
All over Bangkok, you can find motorbike taxis. They are a big help, if you would like to go from your apartment to the next subway or skytrain station or if you just a little hungry and you're looking for a spicy noodle soup :-)
Usually you recognize the motorbike taxi's due to the orange jacket they wearing. Most of them are coming from Isan and looking for a better life.
With some of these guys you have to be very carefully. You can take a route everyday and everyday you're paying 10 Baht. Suddenly one morning you don't ask for the price and you just take the ride and like a very sudden change at the stock market, the price has gone up and it costs now 25 Baht. So whenever you take a motorbike taxi, ask for the price first.
By the way, if you can talk a little Thai it's a big help, because the drivers usually don't speak English. If they think you are some naive tourist, they might just smile at you and say "50 Bath, sir" ;-)
