Navigating public transport, avoiding taxi scams, getting the best currency exchange rates, buying local SIM cards, and handling travel emergencies—these practical logistics can make or break your Asian travel experience. Our Transport & Logistics guides provide verified, current information to help you move through cities confidently and efficiently.
Detailed guides covering metro systems, airport transfers, taxi alternatives, currency exchange strategies, local SIM card comparisons, visa processes, lost passport procedures, and emergency contact information across multiple Asian countries. Written for both corporate groups requiring reliable logistics and solo travellers, who figure things out independently.
Our transport and logistics guides include Thailand (Bangkok BTS/MRT, Pattaya Songthaew, Phuket transport), Vietnam (Hanoi vs Ho Chi Minh taxi systems, Grab usage), Dubai (Metro, taxi regulations, currency exchange), Singapore (MRT mastery, tourist passes), Malaysia (Touch n Go, KL transport), and expanding coverage across Southeast Asia and the Middle East.
We test everything ourselves. When we recommend a currency exchange booth, we’ve compared rates. When we warn about taxi scams, we’ve either experienced or investigated them. Our guides include current pricing (updated regularly), specific locations with coordinates, photos of what to look for, and backup plans when things go wrong. We also provide Indian-specific advice—like where to find vegetarian food at airports or how to explain dietary requirements to taxi drivers.

These guides were born from countless hours navigating confusing metro systems, arguing with taxi drivers, losing money on bad exchange rates, and figuring out SIM card purchases in foreign languages. That solo travel experience now informs how we handle logistics for corporate groups—we know what goes wrong because we’ve lived it. These guides share that hard-won knowledge to help you avoid the same expensive lessons.
