Songthaews.

This book is an easy guide to Bangkok’s Songthaews in Thailand.
Songthaews are normally a fixed route mode of transport like the Buses. They travel on their daily routes and pick passengers up along the way. They are very cheap usually costing between 10 – 20 baht. But you will also get Songthaews that drive around looking for passengers like the red Songthaews in Chiang Mai. They operate like Tuk-Tuks and have no fixed prices. So, be very wary about being overcharged.
