Save Money - Learn to read Thai!

If you have ever been or are in Thailand and cannot read Thai script, quite possibly you took/take a taxi everywhere. Especially in Bangkok. However, now that I can read Thai, I save a boatload of cash by taking Song Taeos, vans, and busses. They are actually quite clearly marked - just not bilingual. So if you haven't already, learn to read the Thai alphabet so you can find your way around cheaply.
