The Skytrain is brilliant! We loved how easy it was to get around, the trains were frequent, it was cheap and everything was spotless. It does get busy at rush hour though (just like everywhere in the world!).

This is just sooooooo simple. I buy my Rabbit Card when I first arrive at the BTS SKY TRAIN station, pre-load the card with around THB1500 & then travel all around Bangkok. You put your pre paid card on the scanner on top of the metal barriers when you enter the station & you scan it again at the barriers... More

All trains in Asia are convenient, take you to all the attractions, fast and cheap. Plus the best food can be found outside popular train stops. If you are looking for cute thai girls, take any train towards the Siam interchange and exit. That's the exit for 5 major shopping malls...thus thai hotties galore!

Make sure you use the Bangkok Skytrain to get around, it's the cheapest and easiest way to go. You can get pretty much anywhere in the city from 10-45 baht. The cars are clean and air conditioned, and come every few mins. There are also guards and people that can assist you on every platform. With all of the traffic... More

Great service for not having to stick on the traffic! Skytrain saved us when we were stuck on traffic. We left a taxi and catch the train!

Bangkok is filled with traffic jams everywhere. In the morning, in the afternoon and yes even at 2 am there is traffic. The best, fastest and cheapest way to mive around is the skytrain. What a pleasant, easy and convenient way to travel. I thoroughly enjoyed the ride.

This is the way transportation should be. Cheap, effective, clean and fast! 2 lines that interchanges at Siam station, you can get around much of Bangkok this way. Combined with the walkways at the stations you don't even have to get down on streetlevel in order to go to the shopping malls. Manu hotels also have direct access from the... More

Travelling by BTS (skytrain) in Bangkok is simple, inexpensive and fast. There are two main lines that you will use. One is the Sukhumvit Line and the other is the Silom Line. You can change over to either line at Siam Station. The trains start running at 6am and the last train is at 12pm. They are clean, air conditioned... More
