Consejos para la ciudad
Facilidad para moverse por la casa
The best transportation is by local taxi meters or Grab Taxi
Grab Taxi: A free app that you can download. Select "Grab Taxi" and you can travel anywhere.
Local Taxi Meters: When you go out to the streets, you can find taxis that use the meter system, not the bargain system.

Beware of your belongings and pickpockets.
As a big capital city, you should take care of your belongings and be careful of pickpockets, although Bangkok is primarily safe. Try to only use taxi meters as they are the safest transportation option (not bargaining taxi). :)
