GETTING AROUND BANGKOK


The BTS Sky Train, MRT Underground, and SRT train offer safe and convenient travel throughout the city. There is also a major bus network crisscrossing the city, a riverboat taxi on Chao Phraya River, metered taxis, Tuk Tuk, and motorcycle taxis.

 

Getting to downtown Bangkok is also quite easy from the airport, as there is a selection of transport including limousine, mini-van, coach, or the Airport Rail Link. Grab Taxi is also a popular option nowadays in Bangkok’s metropolis area.
