The modern electrified trains transport Bangkok's commuters in wide air-conditioned cars, saving the time with quick, reliable service. The BTS SkyTrain's high-capacity operating system ensures almost no breakdowns and a virtual 100% punctuality. Each train can carry over 1,000 passengers while a similar number of people would use 800 cars, making the BTS Skytrain the most environmentally friendly mass transit system in Thailand.
Currently there are two routes, the Sukhumvit Line and the Silom Line. They cover much of the central city and its many commercial, residential and tourist areas, with extensions planned to outlying areas. The trains run daily between 6:00 am and 12:00 midnight with frequent service throughout the day, increased during rush hours. The fare is based on the distance traveled

Tuk-tuks, those three-wheeled open-air vehicles (samlor) you see cruising the streets, are a Bangkok transportation innovation that can take two passengers (three or four at a squeeze). Tuk-tuks offer an interesting way of seeing the city, but are best for shorter trips during off-peak hours. You have to agree the fare before proceeding. It should cost less than the price of a comparable journey by metered taxi. In the rainy season, riding in a tuk-tuk can be dangerous as well as wet. You have been warned.

Bangkok’s canals have traditionally been used for transportation of people
and produce. These days, the river and a few of the canals are still used by commuters
and travelers to get around the city. The long-tailed boat taxis are fast and
a good way of avoiding the traffic jams. Scheduled boat taxi services ply the
Chao Phraya River, Saen Saeb Canal and Lard Prao Canal. Many river taxis are just
cross-river ferries, while others serve the many landing stages on both banks
and cover routes that go upriver as far as the northern suburb of Nonthaburi.
Getting about by boat taxi can be dangerous and inconvenient in the rainy season.
Many a hapless commuter or traveler has fallen into the ink-black klongs. At rush
hour, avoid standing at the edge of the crowded dock. Outside of peak hours, traveling
the canals and river by boat gives a nice snapshot of the traditional Thai way
of life.
On the Chao Phraya River
Chao Phraya River boats run between Ratchasingkhorn Temple and Pak Kred in Nonthaburi
province. The route starts from Ratchasingkhorn Temple, with stops at Warrajanyawart
Temple, Sathorn, Oriental, Muang Khare, Si Praya, Harbor Department, Ratchawong,
Bhussdhayodfah Bridge, Wisutkasart, Yok Yor, Dhaewet, Krungthon Bridge, Payap,
Kaewfah Chulamanee Temple, Bang Pho, Soi Thong Temple, Rama VII Bridge, Khemaphirataram
Temple, Tuek Temple, Kien Temple, Nonthaburi town hall, Sai Ma Tai Temple, Pranangklao
Bridge and Pak Kred. The total traveling time is approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes.
We suggest you check your destination before getting in the boat as they don’t
stop at every port and some boats don’t go beyond Nonthaburi town.
Boat taxis are classified by a flag system. Daily standard express boats (without
flags) depart every 20 minutes from 6.00 a.m. to 6.40 p.m. During rush hours on
Monday to Friday, special express boats stop at certain docks on the Nonthaburi
to Ratburana Route (yellow flags), Nonthaburi to Sathorn (red/orange flags), and
the Pak Kred to Ratchasingkorn Temple Route (green flags).
On Saen Saeb Canal
Boats depart daily every 15 minutes from 5.30 a.m. to 7.30 p.m. The fare is 5
to15 baht depending on the distance. Boats start from Sriboonruang Temple, then

University, Thep Lila Temple, The Mall III, Klong Ton Bridge, Chan Issara II,
Thong Lor, Soi Soon Wijai, Mai Chonglom Temple, Prasanmit University, Asoke Bridge,
Nana Nua, Withayu Bridge, Chid Lom, Pratunam, Huka Chang Bridge, Baan Krua, Charoen
Phol, Bo Bae and Panfah Leelard Bridge. Boats return along the same route. The
total traveling time is about 1 hour. Passengers with onward tickets need to change
boats at Pratunam.
On Lard Prao Canal
Boats depart daily from 5.30 a.m. to 7.30 p.m. with a fare of 7 to 15 baht per
person depending on the distance. They start from Saphan Mai near Ying Charoen
Market, then dock at Chaengwattana, Bang Bua, Senanikom, Arpapirom, Lard Phrao
Temple, Pracha Uthit, Thai-Japan, Klong Ton, Sukhumvit 71, Mahaboot, Prakanong
and return along the same route. The total travel time is about 1 hour and 30
minutes.

a fare of 3 baht per person. The daily service runs from 5.00 a.m. to 9.00 p.m.
