What backup plan should I have for late-night food and after-hours transport?

Late-night food and transport are widely available in central areas, but availability, surge pricing and safe pickup locations vary. Arrange a clear route home before drinking heavily. Keep a second transport or payment option, enough phone data and the destination written in Thai and English. Last services, app availability and road conditions can change. Avoid building an itinerary that fails completely if one bus, ferry, card or driver is unavailable. Freshness note: Prices, opening hours, schedules, addresses and provider details can change. Confirm the current information directly before travelling or paying.
