Getting around in Bangkok (II)
After presenting you the “normal” ways Getting around in Bangkok (I), it’s time to show you the more unique ways of getting around.
Tuk-tuks
Tuk-tuk or auto rickshaw is a usually three-wheeled cabin cycle. You can hire them like a taxi.
Never ask for a price, otherwise they tell you a fantasy price or take you on a “shopping tour” across Bangkok. Tell them a price that you think is right.
When bargaining remember that transportation is cheap in Thailand. A ride across the city with the BTS skytrain costs ruffly 50 Baht.
Motocycle taxis
First of all, use this type of transportation only if you want to kill yourself.
Motorcycle taxis are for short distance journeys. They drive between car rows and there’s basically no safety/protection. Like with the tuk-tuks, you have to know the fare otherwise you pay the farang price.
You can recognise them by the orange vests they’re wearing.
They usually wait in groups near the same shops and restaurants and corners of main streets during daytime.

Lufthansa Senator Lounge (international) – Munich Airport
Welcome to my review of the Lufthansa Senator Lounge in the non-schengen transit area at Munich Airport. It is a Star Alliance Gold lounge near gate H22. Unfortunately I can’t provide any photo, because the lounge was too crowded to take photos.
Upon entering and presenting your boarding pass you’ll find yourself in the dining section of the lounge. You can find here a great buffet selection with cold and hot delights like German meatloaf, pretzels, hot tomatoes and bacon, cheese and a selection of non-alcoholic and alcoholic drinks.
There’s also a coffee machine which makes espresso, cappuccino, latte macchiatto and other.
When you go further you’ll find a huge bar including bartender who can mix you almost any drink I know.
There are two more sections. The first is a relaxing areas with leather chairs, a selection of newspapers and a TV set. The second is a work area with sockets and desks. The lounge offers free Wi-Fi.
Overall this lounge is a good place to spend some time before your next international flight.
