Don't drive or ride a bike yourself, it's not worth the risk. Thai drivers and riders are maniacs, but they seem to be able to read what the other maniac is going to do, so you stand a better chance....Lol

New name is KOLKATA - that is closer how it used to be pronounced in the native language - Bengali.
Airport code is still the old code CCU for Calcutta. The airport is on northeast corner of metro - also also called Dum Dum from the local township name.
If going by train, try station names of HOWRAH or SEALDAH - the latter is a friendlier terminus, but less trains go there. Howrah is the traditional rail terminus - on other side of river Ganges.

Great food - whether Mughlai or sweets, and most reasonable price among metro Indian cities.
