The most practical public option is the city's songthaew (shared red pickup trucks) or the RTC airport bus, which connect popular areas near the old city and night bazaar to the terminal at low cost. Metered taxis and ride-hailing apps like Grab are the fastest and most popular door-to-door choices, while driving yourself is also possible, with short-term and long-term parking available at the airport.",
