I'd like to write about my favorite form of traveling. In a Tuk-Tuk. They are these three-wheeled, open-air, diesel-gusling, air-poluting little taxis. Tiny little things that zoom around the city. They are everywhere. There is a bench behind the driver with room for two adults. There is no meter, so you have to negotiate a price before you get in. They like to take tourists for a ride- if you know what I mean :). It is tough to bargain if you don't know how far the place is you are going. But luckily there are many around, so you can take a stab and if you are way off, go to the next guy and bargain up to 5 Baht more.
They are so fun to ride in. It is great to be out in the thick of things, instead of seperated by a plate of glass. Although sometimes the A/C in a taxi is just what you need. Especially if you don't want to inhale all the smog.
