Therefore, it is necessary to pick up and drop off by barge.First, we first purchase a Bangkok BTS MRT card and store the equivalent amount (a rabbit card is similar to the Taipei MRT Express Card), take the MRT to Saphan Taksin Station (Saphan Taksin), and then go to Exit 2 You can see the location of the shuttle boat when you walk.There are a few places to remind everyone:
1. Buy the MRT rabbit card: Mainly, there will be a lot of tourists on the return journey at Saphan Taksin station (Saphan Taksin) to line up to buy tickets back to downtown Bangkok. Using the MRT card will be faster, and there will be no long queues. Buy a ticket and you can enter the station directly.
