After the river ferry service, this is a very convenient way of traveling. Covers most of the centre, and during rush or is a must if you are in a hurry. A few times during the week we would take a tuk tuk to the nearest sky train, rather than take a taxi all the way. Much quicker, and cooler.

The easiest way to travel around in Bangkok is by sky train and you don't have to worry about getting a taxi because taxi seems not to understand English well and you will always get into misunderstanding with language problem,so avoid it and sky train has English written anywhere you want to go to

Cheap and easy way to get around. We found it particularly good as our hotel was situated on a link bridge to a BTS station.

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!
