Information
Traveling Bangkok by yourself.
There are a few different ways to get around Bangkok depending on where you're staying and where you're headed...
Skytrain
The Skytrain is an elevated train that is also known as BTS. At the time of writing, there are two lines, the Sukhumvit line (light green) and the Silom line (dark green).
They're useful for avoiding Bangkok's crazy traffic if you need to get around "new Bangkok", that is to say, the areas around Silom, Sukhumvit, and Siam Square. Trains run frequently between 6 am and midnight, and ticket prices range from 15 THB to 52 THB or 150 THB for a day pass. Ticket machines only accept coins, but the ticket offices will swap your notes for change.
Metro

Bangkok's metro system (MRT) is also good for traveling between the Sukhumvit or Silom districts to reach Hualamphong Train Station. It's cheap: tickets cost from 21 THB to 71 THB or 120 THB for a one-day pass and again, the trains run frequently from 6 am to midnight.

Bangkok is split in two by the Chao Phraya River, and the west bank (formerly Thonburi) is still home to a pretty extensive canal system. One of the best ways (although not necessarily the quickest) to visit sights along the river bank, like the Grand Palace and Wat Pho Temple, is by boat. The main pier (Tha Sathon, or Central Pier) connects with the Saphan Taksin BTS station.
Chao Phraya Express Boat service operates at more than 40 piers along the Chao Phraya River. The main hub of Bangkok river boats is the Central Pier, which is called Sathorn Pier or Taksin Bridge Pier. Sathorn Pier is conveniently connected with BTS Saphan Taksin station and can be easily reached from anywhere in Bangkok by using city trains.
Chao Phraya Tourist Boat service running from Phra Arthit Pier to Sathorn Pier. During late afternoon hours (15:30–18:30) the route is extended all the way to Asiatique The Riverfront. The Chao Phraya Tourist Boat route connects the touristy district of Khao San Road (N13/Phra Arthit Pier) with Thonburi Railway Station, the Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaew, Wat Pho, Wat Arun, the Flower Market, Chinatown, ICONSIAM, the BTS SkyTrain Saphan Taksin station, and Asiatique the Riverfront.
To cross the river, there are countless ferries that run every few minutes all day and into the night, charging just 3 THB .

Taxi
Traveling around Bangkok by taxi is surprisingly cheap - sometimes even more so than the Skytrain - plus, it's comfortable and easy, and the drivers are usually really friendly.
Taxis have to use their meters - if a driver refuses to do so, find a different taxi! The meter starts at 35 THB and journeys to most places in central Bangkok will cost between 60 THB to 90 THB. Remember that tolls are paid by the passenger. If you can't find a taxi willing to use the meter late at night, there are taxi apps available: Grab Taxi and All Thai Taxi.
Don't expect your driver to speak English. An address written in Thai is a good bet to ensure you'll get to the right place!

Taxi
This new app-based taxi company is a good way to get around Bangkok. journeys are reserved via a mobile application, and the journey has a fixed fare meaning that you'll avoid arguments and haggling with taxi drivers. The application allows payment by card, or you can pay the driver in cash.
Tuk-tuks

Tuk-tuks
Those iconic motorized rickshaws are used by locals and tourists alike for short journeys that aren't worth the taxi fare. Tourists, however, are usually overcharged for these noisy and polluted trips! It's better to go at night when the pollution isn't as bad (or to save this experience for another city!) and try and haggle the price down to 60 THB. Super cheap tuk-tuks are usually too good to be true and will take you to gem shops and massage parlors in the hope of some commission.

While cycling has gotten more and more popular in Bangkok over the years, it's still a bit of a minefield out there thanks to dangerous roads, crazy traffic, sweltering heat, and pollution (hopefully the bike trend will help that though!). If you feel the need to pedal around the Thai capital, we recommend booking a Bike Tour with a guide who can show you the safest places to cycle.
