Bangkok Skytrain & Subway

The combined routes and convenience of the 2 mass transit systems have made getting around in Bangkok so much easier.

The Skytrain alone was okay for limited areas, but when combined with the new subway, Bangkok's mass transit system began to blossom. The Skytrain follow a route along Sukhumvit Road, Ploenjit and Paholyothin.

The southern spur runs from the National Stadium to Ratchadamri; then down Ratchadamri and Silom, runs onto Narathiwat, then down Sathon to the Taksin Bridge.

The Subway adds access: From Hualamphong Central train station down Rama 4 road to Asoke; then runs up Ratchadapisek all they way to Lat Phrao, across to Paholyothin, down to Chatuchak Park and then to Bangsue.

There are 3 major exchange stations for both skytrain and subway

• Chatuchak Park - Mochit
• Sukhumvit - Asoke
• Silom - Saladaeng

Both skytrain and subway are reasonably priced, quick and convenient. Station route maps are easy to follow. Service at the stations tends to be efficient and courteous.

In this writer's opinion, the subway has one distinct advantage over the Skytrain. Escalators!
