A bit of comment on bolt e hailing service. Harder to get drivers and waiting time is longer.

grab offer the best service so far. Use grab saver option to save $ but no available during peak hours.

BTs and MRT is the way to go around in bkk. Grab and ehailing cars in bkk are notorious for 'fong fei ke'!
