Due to the over-congested roads in Bangkok, city planners have developed both an overground and underground train network through the city. The BTS Skytrain is an overground railway system comprised of the Sukhumvit Line and the Silom Line, which stops at popular tourist areas and attractions, making it an efficient way of getting around the city.
Hiring a motorcycle or moped: One of the most popular way for Thai travellers to get around is to hire a moped or Scooter. Whilst it may be fun and free to ride a bike overseas, you should be aware of the dangers. If you haven’t ridden a motorbike or scooter at home… is a country with unfamiliar roads, foreign signs and care-free drivers really the place to start?
Tobe coverred by us if you are in control of a motorcycle or scooter with an engine capacity greater than 125cc, you need to hold a current, valid Australian motorcycle licence. If you are riding a motorcycle or scooter with an engine capacity lower than 125cc, you need to hold a current, valid Australian drivers licence.
You also need to be aware that cover will not be provided to you if you are a passenger on a moped, scooter or motorcycle, and the person in control does not have a valid motorcycle licence for that country.
Please note that it’s compulsory to wear a helmet while riding a motorbike or scooter in many countries. Regardless of local requirements, Zoom advises you to wear a motorcycle helmet whenever you are a rider or passenger on a scooter or motorbike
Touring by tuk-tuk: Whether it's three-wheels in Bangkok, or the four-wheeld version in Phuket, a tuk-tuk ride in Thailand is an experience! Tuks or 'sam lor' (three-wheeled) are pick-up trucks with facing benches in the back and a roof overhead. They're one of the most recognised modes of transports associated with Thailand, but be warned, they're renowned as taking tourists for a ride. They're about as comfortable as a ride in the back of a ute but visitors are charged a five-star luxury price for the privilege of being bounced all over the holiday island.
