Bangkok being such a big place and full of people that can't afford a car or motorbike has many different forms of transport, some public and some private, from the humble motorbike taxi to luxurious limosines, although you don't see many of them about, ok lets stick with air-con taxis with meters, tonnes of them all over Bangkok. They also have boat transport, bus, minibus, trains and even helicopter hire, although I am not sure where the helicopters can land other than either of the 2 airports.
So first up on our Bangkok public transport thread is of course one of Bangkoks unique features, the poxy Tuk Tuk, noisy, dangerous and probably uninsured are just the nice things you can say about them, great for short journeys, will always try to rip you off, but hell, they get you to where you want to go and just weave between all the traffic jams so if your in a hurry to a business meeting these are just what the director ordered, of course being open to all weathers your hair will be all over the place (baldies will be ok) and you will stink of petrol and diesel fumes, but thats life in the big city.
Anyway, worth using at least once just for the thrill of racing through the Bangkok traffic and being open to it all, of course it is always worth checking which good hospitals are on the route you will be taking, nothing wrong with being careful, and Bangkok does have some great hospitals, just check your insurance is up to date as the better ones are a tad expensive.

And the Tuk Tuk beast itself. They will seat around 6 normal sized people, not very comfortably but it can be done
