Transport in Bangkok (video)
As you can expect in a city of millions, traffic in Bangkok is chaotic. If you, as a tourist, do not want to lose valuable holiday time in traffic jams, it is good to be aware of the means of transport in the capital of Thailand.
A good tip is to always look for a hotel near the Skytrain, metro or water taxi. You can then move quickly and cheaply through a large part of the city.
For transportation in Bangkok you can choose from:
- BTS Skytrain
- MRT Subway
- Water taxi
- City buses
- Minivans
- Cab meter
- Tuk-Tuk
- Motorcycle taxi
The most safe and comfortable are the BTS Skytrain and the MRT Metro. Other modes of transportation may also be a great option, depending on your destination.
Video transportation in Bangkok
In this video you can see a number of transport options in Bangkok:

In Bangkok you also have the BRT , a bus that runs on special bus lanes from Skytrain station Chongnonsi to Chaiyapruek in Thonburi .
You can of course also use the Airport Raillink in Bangkok, which is not only there for transport to and from the airport.
Over the water you have the water taxi, I assume you mean the Chao Phraya River Express boat?
And don't forget that the San Saeb Khlong boat is also a very popular form of transport in Bangkok.
Great additions Rene, thanks.
That's why I always stay in hotel Hua Lamhong, it's practically next to MRT Metro, to the main train station Hua Lamphong and 10 minutes walking distance from pier Rathawong in China Town.
I am very pleased with the MRT Metro, they can learn something from it in the Netherlands and I enjoy it every time I take the water taxi (orange flag).
Rarely take a taxi and never a tuk-tuk and therefore hardly suffer from stuck traffic.
Yes, it is convenient to take a hotel that is close to the skytrain or metro, but these hotels are generally slightly more expensive, but the convenience you get in return is formidable (no sweaty crotch and your shirt nice and dry)
What I want to note is the connection between Airport link and skytrain sukumvit (nana,asoke etc etc) that it does not exist I found quite remarkable ?
@jm At Phaya Thai, a transfer is possible between the Airport Rail Link and the BTS Sukhumvit Line.
Thanks for the info, for the next time I use the airport link again
mvg
You also have these at other stations, eg Makkasan = transfer between airportlink and MRT and water (klong) boat (taxi) to the terminus in the middle of the city, the Golden Mount. This in addition to the possibilities. But no fear. Besides the Klong water taxi (in English), the transfers to the BTS and the MRT are also clearly communicated to the travelers in advance through the loudspeakers. Greetings
You can transfer from the airport raillink to the skytrain at phayathai, well and then change again at siam to travel to asoke-nana.
At the Makkasan stop you can transfer to the metro, but then you have to cross two busy roads. They are planning to build an air bridge there.
The airlift to the MRT is almost complete. Crossing this busy road is not necessary at all, because there has also been an MRT entrance on the side of the Makkasan Station for years. If you stay on that side and you walk towards the bridge, just before this bridge you have the pier for the klong (canal) taxi boat on your right.
Hi Martin, do you also know which entrance-exit of MRT Petchaburi that is exactly, because I always overlooked it. There are three.
And not only me, because also on TripAdvisor there are many messages about crossing the road and even the railway tracks.
Here is a website with a photo of the air bridge to be built, and also the story of the crossing and the difficult connection that is (still) there.
You might wonder why there should be an airlift if, as you write, there is an MRT entrance-exit at Makkasan.

Hi René. I even thought there are four. You come out of Makkasan Station and walk to the thanon Ratchadapihisek. Once there stay on the sidewalk and walk to the right. You will automatically arrive at the entrance to the MRT. This entrance is before the side street, which will be in front of you on your right. So you don't have to cross any street. Have a look on GOOGLE Earth and take Streetrview there. The input intended and used by me is clearly visible there. Have fun.
The Skytrain is highly recommended, unless you are carrying (a lot of) luggage. At the Skytrain stations you almost always have to go up / down stairs.
The Chao Praya River Express is highly recommended: efficient, fast, fun, and you see something.
Oh sorry , you don't have to transfer from phayathai to nana-asoke , that's the sukhumvit line.
