Taxis, tuk-tuks, and ride-sharing services are widely available in Bangkok and can be convenient for short distances. The BTS Skytrain and MRT subway systems are affordable and convenient for navigating Bangkok. Expect to spend around ฿20,000-฿25,000 (~INR 45,000-55,000) on transportation for this itinerary.

Useful tips:

If you have more time, consider adding a visit to the ancient city of Ayutthaya, exploring the mountainous region of Chiang Rai, or taking a relaxing beach vacation in Koh Samui. If you have less time, consider choosing between either Chiang Mai/Pai or Krabi/Phi Phi Islands.
