Thailand is a great place for travel. Bangkok has convenient transportation, providing subways, air trains, buses, taxis and tuk-tuks, so it is not lost to Taipei at all, and the comfort and convenience of the MRT make it easier for travelers to plan their itineraries. More mobility.However, when commuting to and from get off work in Bangkok, the traffic becomes chaotic. It is also the place most criticized by tourists. Fortunately, the MRT...At this time, the travel convenience it brings is shown.
There are currently two main transportation systems, one is underground transportation MRT Subway The system is the main one. It runs from Bang Sue all the way to Hua Lamphong station and runs through the north and south of Bangkok; the other one was opened in December 1999 and is called BTS , This is an elevated MRT like Taipei Muzha Line, also known as Skytrain.
The most widely used in Bangkok is still BTS For the bulk, it was opened earlier because the price is cheaper. The shortest distance price starts from 10 yuan baht, and the difference is 5 yuan for each stop after that.
In the ticket purchase system, as long as you overcome the language barriers and try to read English, you will be able to travel unimpeded in Thai subway stations; if you really don’t know which station you need to get off and how much money to invest, just tell the station staff to go He will tell you the name of the station, and then go to the coin slot to select the section you want to go to.However, based on my own experience on boarding, "Follow the Tusuoji" can really easily get to where you want to go, because it is no different from the Taipei MRT, the difference is that Bangkok uses IC tokens/ticket cards, and now Taipei has fully used IC generation There are a lot of people going to and from get off work, so you have to prepare more change and spend some time in line to buy tickets.
☆ Be careful when riding
According to the number of stations you are going to, once you put in the currency, an IC token/MRT card will be dropped. The entrance of Bangkok MRT is now the modified version of Taipei MRT, but the existing measures are implemented in Bangkok earlier than Taipei. , So the local area is really not as convenient as Taipei, but they do not have LED lights or screens to indicate the time. Instead, they use ordinary clocks, which makes me feel a little simple in this current city.
Don't be afraid of getting lost in Bangkok, as long as you find the MRT station, everything is easy!Their MRT stations will be marked with the station name, and the MRT station staff are also very enthusiastic. They can talk in English to help you get to your destination. With clearly marked routes, I think you can have fun in Bangkok!
Above is the new version of the MRT map (information on May 2011.05.23, XNUMX).
The environment of Bangkok MRT is quite clean and comfortable, and there will be similar military and police personnel on the scene.
(Thank you, I didn’t take this old man very well...^^b)
MRT stations are inevitably flooded with all kinds of advertisements, but many of them are advertising stars with Chinese faces.
There will be some small shops and vendors nearby after leaving the station.
