transportation is an essential thing for people because it has become a part of their daily life. They use it for different purposes. Some of them can afford to buy a private car so they do not use public transports. However, there are many other choices that suit their needs. In Thailand, they can choose from three main categories of transports.
The first type is road transport. Its use depends on individuals’ needs. Most people select to take a bus because the fee is low. It is also convenient because they do not have to be worried about a parking space. Some people prefer to use the sky train (BTS) or the underground (MRT) when they need to make a journey in downtown areas. They are fast so they help passengers to save time but the fee is much higher.
The second type is freight transport. For a long distance, it takes many days to distribute products from one country to another. Cargo ship is popular for this kind of distribution because it is cheap for a short distance. It only takes passengers a few minutes to their destination. Ferry transferring passengers from a pier to another is an example. This means of transport is the cheapest.
The third type is air transport. It is faster than other kinds so it is suitable for people who need to arrive in one place or distribute goods quickly. In addition, this sort of means has safety standards but it is very expensive. In fact, it is the most expensive. Not many people can afford to use this service.
In conclusion, transports can be divided into road, freight and air. Road transport seems the most popular because people have several options ranging from private motorcycles and cars to public motorcycles and buses. The fee for public transports is affordable in Thailand. Thai people are fortunate to be able to choose from three options according to their needs.
