Walk inside Nimman or the Old City when conditions are comfortable, but use RTC bus, a red songthaew or ride-hailing between districts. Agree on a songthaew fare before boarding and keep the route simple during heat, rain or smoky periods. Public references list THB 30 for the city loop and THB 40 for the airport route; other ride costs vary by distance and demand.
