In Thailand for a month, Google Maps is not easy to use on foot, but the map navigation that comes with Apple's mobile phone is very easy to use.
Grab taxi software is highly recommended, which is the best to use in Chiang Mai.
Grab registration: it's best to have a Thai mobile phone card, because you can call in case the driver can't find you. I can't register my own 126 email address, so I registered Facebook first, and then tied Facebook. Payment methods can be bundled with Alipay or credit card cash. Another place better than Uber is to deduct money at the destination. And there are points, and there are often discounts. Use it like a domestic drip taxi. As long as you enter the exact boarding and alighting places in English, the price will be displayed, and then you just need to wait in a conspicuous position according to the license plate number. There are not many opportunities to communicate with drivers, so there is no need to worry about language barriers.
Bangkok: If 3-4 people travel, if they are not office workers and students, and if traffic jams are acceptable, BTS and BRT need not be considered at all. The subway and subway fares in Bangkok are expensive, and taking a taxi is the first choice with the highest cost performance. However, Uber is reliable and convenient because listed taxis are unwilling to hit the meter, because grab in Bangkok is not as much as Uber. Taxi software can even find three-wheeled motorcycles, and it is cheap to get on the viaduct. If you are brave, you can rest assured to take it. Drivers in Bangkok have worse attitudes and services than those in other cities.
Chiang Mai: The starting price of two cars is 2-3 baht per person, so it is only suitable for lone travelers, because the cheapest taxi ride with Grab is only 35-4 baht. Grab and Uber can be used alternately in Chiang Mai, and the order taking speed is very fast. Grab is cheaper than Uber in the urban area, but it is not as accurate as Uber at a long distance. The map that comes with Apple's mobile phone can only use Uber links. Uber's disadvantage is that it will be deducted before getting on the bus. If you change the route halfway, there will be limited trouble. Drivers in Chiang Mai are the most polite and honest.
Chiang Rai: There is no Uber, no Grab, no bus, and two cars are usually parked at scenic spots, so it depends on your luck to recruit on the road. I called in advance at the hotel to make an appointment.
Pattaya: Uber is basically available. If you are not afraid of the heat and the sun, you can also take a convertible double car. How to use Uber
step1: Enter the place where you want to go, and there will be a cost estimate below, so you are not afraid of being hacked ~
step2: After you confirm it, click book and start waiting for the driver to take the order ~
step3: After the driver takes the order, he will give you a call, so you need someone from
Thailand
to tell the driver the address. Then you will see the driver moving towards you step by step, and the positioning is very accurate! You see the icon in front of you, basically there is a car in front of you!
step4: get in the car and go! You don't need to talk to the driver, because the software on the driver's side has already started to navigate, hahahaha! There won't be detours ~ and grab's car is in good condition ~ the driver is of high quality ~ and then he will keep playing the meter. After getting off the bus, according to your choice, pay cash (you need to add 2B to the meter, or Alipay (recommended ~
