Gold Line metro in Bangkok

This very short automated line was built almost exclusively to serve the huge ICONSIAM shopping mall – which is also its only real interest for tourists. It connects with the BTS at Krung Thonburi station and currently has only 3 stations, Khlong San being the one in front of ICONSIAM.

Bangkok metro

Bangkok's subway is called the MRT. It only covers part of the city, but combined with the BTS it opens up many more options. It is very clean, air-conditioned and especially convenient to get to the Grand Palace, Wat Pho or Chinatown.

Chao Phraya Express

The Chao Phraya Express boats run regularly along the river that flows through Bangkok and stop near all the monuments and sights on its banks, including Wat Phra Kaew, Wat Pho and Wat Arun, the three must-see temples in Bangkok. Fares are cheap.

Bangkok bus lines

The bus is clearly neither the easiest nor the fastest way for a foreign tourist to get around Bangkok, but it is the cheapest. The network is huge and you can go almost anywhere – you just need to be patient.

Transport in Bangkok

Bangkok offers the widest choice of public and private transport in Thailand (metro, buses, boats, tuk-tuks...). Because no, there's more than tuk-tuks and pink taxis to get around Bangkok!
