Map Public Transport - Bangkok
Note position of Soi 19 - expand image & zoom tool
BTS Skytrain: Fast, efficient and affordable, running everyday from 06.00 to midnight.Mo Chit station at the north end, where you can find the weekend Chatuchak Market. SiamStation, adjacent to huge shopping malls: Siam Centre, Siam Discovery Centre and SiamParagon, is the central station with a link to National Stadium Station to MBK shoppingcentre. Saphan Taksin Station & boat pier. Fares from 10 to 40 baht or 100 baht unlimitedday pass.
MRT Subway metro: With 18 stations covering main roads in Bangkok including Rama IV,Sukhumvit, Lad Prao and Pahonyothin, MRT opened in 2004 and operates everyday from06.00 to midnight. Connecting to the BTS Skytrain at Sukhumvit Station (Asoke BTS Station),Lumping Station (Silom BTS Station) and Chatuchak Station (Mo Chit BTS Station) with a linkto Hua Lampong train station. Fares: 15 to 60 baht.
Taxi: Very easy to find everywhere in Bangkok, with the meter starting from35 baht, it's a low cost convenient transport when the traffic is flowing.However, always make sure the driver activate the meter. Then there is theubiquitous Tuk tuks touting for business. They’re a fun ‘must-do’experience but in Bangkok peak traffic the induced fumes are "not fun". If
your game try local culture motor bike taxi say ChaCha (go slow) or ReoReo (go fast)
The river and canal ferry is a whole new must do experience. "Longdo" is Thai for "please try!"
