Forget motorbike taxis, buses, BTS, underground and ordinary cabs, because getting around in Bangkok can be done with a little more flair and style than that. And what could be more stylish than riding in an iconic London taxi around the city, or beating the traffic while admiring the Grand Palace from a whopping height of 5,500 feet from the ground?
London taxi service
Style-conscious travellers are in for a 'posh' treat as you can now catch a ride in a stately London black cab. Seen snaking through the city's streets and 'sois' (alleys) recently, the famous taxis offer a transfer service to and from the airports (Don Meuang and Suvarnabhumi), and are available at some five-star hotels, and Central Chidlom. The cost depends on the distance - usually divided into 'zones'. The estimate fare from Suvarnabhumi Airport to Silom is around 1,500 to 2,000 baht.
