🚇 Getting Around

Bangkok

Bangkok's traffic is legendary — avoid road transport during rush hour (7–9am, 5–8pm) when possible. The BTS Skytrain and MRT subway are fast and reliable for routes they cover. For everything else, motorcycle taxis and river boats fill the gaps.

Walkability: Low overall due to heat, uneven sidewalks, and missing pedestrian infrastructure. However, individual areas like the Old City temple district, Sukhumvit between BTS stations, and Chinatown are walkable if you tolerate the heat. Elevated walkways connect many BTS stations to nearby malls.

BTS Skytrain — ฿16–62 (~$0.45–$1.80)

MRT Subway — ฿17–42 (~$0.50–$1.20)

Metered Taxis & Grab — ฿35–200 (~$1–$6) for most city trips

Batumi

Batumi is compact and walkable in the centre. Taxis and marshrutkas (shared minibuses) connect to the Botanical Garden, Gonio, and Sarpi. The promenade is ideal for walking and cycling.

Walkability: High in city centre and along the promenade. Good cycling infrastructure along the seafront.

Taxi / Yandex Go — GEL 5–15 city trips
