Air travel in Thailand
The air traffic in Thailand is comfortable and generally favorable. There are three major airlines with many domestic routes - Thai Airways, Bangkok Airways and budget airline Air Asia. Thailand has more than a dozen airports, a large number considering the country is smaller than the state of Texas, so that almost all parts of the country is in a few hours in an airport.
The major international airport, Suvarnabhumi, has just opened in 2006 and is a state of the art, modern facilities hold nearly 40 million passengers annually. Phuket and Chiang Mai international airports have also, but they are much smaller and have fewer amenities for travelers. Flights are frequently to and from Bangkok and are quickly and easily usually in and out. Smaller airports such as Loei Airport and Pai, we have limited flights and year round be operated on.

Travelling by train is cheaper to fly compared and trains are comfortable and fairly well maintained, although it is the slowest way to get from one place to another. The rail network in Thailand serves all parts of the country into four separate lines. These lines are not connected, so to go from one area to another, must pass through Bangkok and passing trains.
Thai trains are divided into three different classes. First and second class cars usually have comfortable seating, air conditioning, and on some routes, rates include meals and snacks. Cars of Class III are cooled by a fan and the seats are made of wood or upholstered or hard. While not as comfortable as seats in more expensive classes of service, the third-class cars are often overcrowded and are ideal for short visits to Ayutthaya in Bangkok.
Night trains are a great way to travel long distances to travel in Thailand, and you can choose anything from a private class classification to open a second fan cooled class sleeper seat third class. Clean sheets, towels and pillows are provided for all thresholds. Remember to book tickets as soon as possible as these trains are filling up quickly, especially on weekends or holidays. In Bangkok - Chiang Mai route, expect around 1,400 baht ($ 40) for a first class through and around 280 baht to pay for a third-class seat ($ 8).

Agencies rent, local and international offices can be found in major cities and at major airports, and those who travel in their own country rather convenient and easy to find way. The city traffic can be difficult. In Thailand, they drive on the left side and the traffic can be difficult for those who do not navigate with the customs of a particular behavior in Thailand. The traffic in the big cities, especially in Bangkok can be terrible if many find preferable to use a car in the country and to get from one city to another, but the use of other means of transport in urban areas.
On a per mile, the bus system of government is the best way to travel in Thailand. There are regular buses from Bangkok to destinations in Thailand. Local long distance buses, as a "normal" buses are often a fan, make frequent stops and can be a bit of an adventure if you do not mind standing for a part or all of the course (seats are not guaranteed).
