Cars:
Thailand is an outstanding country to tour with rented transport.
Traffic is moderate and manageable, except in Bangkok. Highways
are in good condition, and directional signs are often in English.
Less expensive rentals are available from local agencies, but
make sure to check the condition of the car thoroughly before
handing over your money. An international driver's license is
required, and insurance is mandatory to be able to drive in Thailand.
Trains:
An efficient rail system links major northern and northeastern
towns with the Bangkok. A southern route permits the visitor to
travel by train into Malaysia and Singapore. Domestic express
trains include first, second, and third- class cars. Slower trains
may have only third-class seats. For four major regions northern,
northeastern, southern and eastern can be traveled by train from
Bangkok Railway Station (Hualumpong).

Buses:
Bus transport in Thailand is fast, clean and reasonably comfortable
for shorter journeys. Most buses provide reclining airline-style
seats and video movies. Both air-conditioned and non-air-conditioned
buses are available on major routes. The cheapest are the ordinary
coaches operated by the government bus company called Bor Kor
Sor. Air-conditioned buses operated by independent companies are
usually 30 to 70% more expensive, but complimentary meals and
transportation from your hotel to the bus terminals are often
included.
