When you are traveling in Thailand, which means of transport is the best choice?
You can rent a variety of motorbikes or bikes in Thailand. It seems to be very popular in most of the beaches and islands along the places in the north. The most popular bikes are the little 125 cc Honda Dream which you can get for about 150 baht (铢) a day or as little as 3,000 baht per month, making it the cheapest way to tour Thailand for the people from other countries.
Sometimes you will have to go somewhere by taxi. When you are in cities in Thailand, especially in Bangkok, always remember to get a taxi that is going on the roads. Some drivers outside hotels refuse to use the milometer (计程表). They will ask a price which is several times the price when they use the meter!
The quality of the roads in Thailand is generally pretty good, so renting cars is another way to get around. The big car rental companies may offer you slightly older cars at a very reasonable (合理的) price. It is a little surprising considering that the cost of buying a car in Thailand is more than that in the West. Petrol is also reasonably priced in Thailand, more expensive than American prices, but much
cheaper than what is paid in Europe. In the past, Bangkok could be a difficult place to drive in — signs were generally in Thai only, making it a hard job to find exactly where you were by looking around. But now, the situation is improved. In a lot of places, even the farthest corners of the country, street signs are in both Thai and English.

Chicago was the first city on our trip that met our expectations (期望). The first thing we did after having hamburgers at McDonalds for breakfast was to take a boat tour around the Chicago River. This was a 90-minute trip through the river in the city and out onto Lake Michigan, while the guide told us a few interesting facts and every fact we never wanted to know about the architecture (建筑风格) of every building.
Still feeling full from McDonalds and feeling much more knowledgeable on early-1900s building designs, we headed to lunch. On our way to finding a deep-dish pizza restaurant，we passed the Chicago Mercantile Hall of Fame with department store legends (传奇) such as Charles Walgreen.
We stopped at Lou Malnati's Pizzeria for the Chicago's special food, deep-dish pizza, and it was delicious. I had the same pizza in the past, but nothing was quite like the real thing. Then, we walked slowly over to the Sears Tower. The view from 103 floors up in the air on this clear spring day was breathtaking, but it was difficult to see some buildings clearly.
Finally, it was time to go to the park, Wrigley Field, home of the Chicago Cubs. I had heard so much about Wrigley. Walking around the park, I noticed the seats with no roof covering on top of the buildings around, which made Wrigley a special park for baseball games. The only thing I found special was the atmosphere (氛围) during the game. On the way out of town, we made a quick midnight stop in the Southside to see the U. S. Cellular Field, home of the White
