Experience hints

Visitor Reviews

HIGH QUALITY TRAIN SERVICE: Almost everything is right about the train functioning here in Bangkok. Timely, efficient, clean, affordable, you name it, it's mostly right. The lines have just expanded as of September 2019 and it's continuing to grow rapidly. DOWN SIDES: 1. Unavoidable Heavy Congestion at peak hours. 2. The loading ramps can be confusing and multi-level. 3. You'll need to locate a small map to keep on your person or you'll probably make mistakes. The signage is sometimes difficult to understand and sometimes just plain annoying. 4.Time trips according to rush hours, you do NOT want to be on the train during rush hours.

**First train at 05:30. Last train at 00:00** This is a major BTS station that will be one of the interchanges with the MRT. (The MRT is known as the subway system in Bangkok, but confusingly the line is above ground in this area.) As of May 2018, the MRT station is not yet open. However, the station looks almost completely built. This is the end of the BTS line, but more BTS stations should also be opening soon as well.

A huge BTS Station accessible to all interchange and the last station as well. Not so much people here , no vendors nor ATM machine in here unlike other BTS bunch of snacks and drinks so make sure you ate , you drink and you have enough cash to avoid problem.Some extension bridge are still close too.

Tips for Visiting Transportation

Take the Sleeper Train at Least Once

The Bangkok-to-Chiang Mai overnight train in a second-class sleeper berth is a bucket-list experience. Book at least a week ahead via 12Go.asia or at Hua Lamphong station. Upper berths are cheaper and have more headroom; lower berths have a window.

Use Grab Everywhere

Grab is the Uber of Southeast Asia and works across Thailand for cars, motorbike taxis, and even tuk-tuks in some cities. It eliminates haggling and provides fare estimates upfront. Load a Thai SIM or use eSIM to stay connected.

Rent Scooters Carefully

Always photograph the scooter's existing damage before riding off, and keep your passport — give a photocopy instead (some shops insist on the original; avoid these). Wear a helmet; police fine 500 THB for no helmet and accidents without one void insurance.
