Khon Kaen Getting there & around

Getting around

A regular, colour-coded sǎwngthǎew system plies the city for 8B per ride. The TAT office has a city map showing all the routes, but ask if it’s the old, outdated one or an updated version before relying on it too heavily. Motorcycle taxis charge about 25B for a medium-length trip though town, while túk-túk drivers will want 40B to 60B. A shuttle runs from the airport to most hotels for 60B.

There’s a plethora of car-rental outlets around the Kosa Hotel and Sofitel, and First Choice Guesthouse has a bike for rent for 50B per day.
