Insider Tips
- Use Grab (the local Uber) for short rides — taxis often refuse to use the meter
- Eat at street stalls with long local lines; that's where the best food is
- Visit the Grand Palace before 9am to beat the heat and the tour buses
- Take the Chao Phraya river ferry — it's $0.50 and beats traffic by an hour
