You can find the Motorcycle taxi stations in every street or you can easily wave one down. The cost is about 20-40THB for a 5 minute journey. Songtao drivers would drive along the streets to pick you up and each has a designated destination while you need to check with the driver. Taxis are a dime a dozen in Bangkok; you'll never be stranded without one, waving them down with ease. And, let's face it, they're ridiculously cheap - a whopping 6 to 10 THB per journey!
