Getting Around Bangkok
Getting around Bangkok with your golf gear does limit your options a bit as the underground and the sky train can be difficult to access carrying a set of clubs. Most hotels are more than happy to book you a private hire car, many of which will wait while you enjoy your round. Alternatively, Taxi’s can be flagged down on just about every street corner in Bangkok. By law, the driver is supposed to use the meter to determine the fare, however, in practice almost all drivers will want to agree a set fare before you enter the cab. Despite this, taxi prices are still reasonable but make sure the fare is agreed before getting in.
