Visitor Reviews

The BTS in Bangkok is absolutely fantastic! 🛤️ The trains are clean, punctual, and air-conditioned — perfect for escaping the heat. The stations are well-marked, and it’s really easy to find your way around, even if it’s your first time in Bangkok. I especially loved that some of the trains are still decorated with Halloween decorations — it creates such a fun atmosphere and shows great attention to detail! 🎃👻 Overall, it’s a super convenient, affordable, and comfortable way to get around the city. Highly recommended! 🚆💛

Ekkamai BTS Station is very convenient and located just a few steps from the Ekkamai Bus Terminal. Perfect for travelers heading to Pattaya, Rayong, or Chonburi. The station is clean, has cafes and convenience stores, and Exit 2 connects directly to the bus terminal — easy and safe!

Excellent Station, easy way to transit to Ekkamai Bus Stand for Buses to outstation. Another Bus stand in Bangkok. BTS is awesome, & Thai people are awesome too. I love Thailand ❤️🙏 Very kind, calm & sweet people.

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.
