Bangkok’s traffic (traffic jam) was once “among the best” in the world. Oil prices have soared in the past few years, so people will stop driving when they have nothing to do. In addition, the accelerated development of transportation facilities over the years led to a temporary improvement in transportation at that time. In recent years, due to the maturity of gas and natural gas technology for vehicles, the cost of fuel has dropped to one-third (gas) or less than one-fifth (natural gas) of gasoline. In addition to Bangkok people’s values: “cars” are “appearances”. It is more normal to have cars to drive but no houses to live in Bangkok. The streets of Bangkok have returned to the “glory” of the old “auto show”.

Therefore, light rail, subway and transportation boats on the Chao Phraya River have become better choices. Although we cannot reach any part of the city like taxis, the light rail and subway can enable us to better calculate and arrange the journey on that day, and the transportation boats on the Chao Phraya River are extremely cheap viewing tools besides the meaning of “transportation”.

The service hours of light rail and subway are roughly 6: 00-24: 00 Bangkok time.

I don’t have the schedule of the transportation boat yet, so I’ll check it and make it up when I have time.

In addition, because sometimes the Thai name of some stations or docks has a long pronunciation (difficult), it is recommended to remember its code, such as: E1; E5; N10

Better way is to use camera or mobile phone to “shoot” the place name (station name), and it is convenient + accurate to ask the way.

Thai is a semi-“pinyin” character, which is different from the thinking of people in China. Sometimes we think the pronunciation is very similar, but it may have completely different meanings in Thai.
