 The train arriving by SirRichard
It's got (so far) 2 lines, which cross in Central Station (Siam).
You can buy individual tickets or 1 day tickets. Prices depend on the distances, running from 10 to 40 bahts (1 USD= 40 Bahts). 1 day passes cost 100 Bahts.
It is very convenient if you are staying at Sukhumvit Area (Nana Station). From there you can reach the river and take a boat directly to the center (Royal Palace and so). Leave a Comment

 BTS Skytrain by and_juana
I would recommend 101% in getting arounfd town via BTS skytrain. Which is fast, safe and most reliable Mass Transit System in Bangkok! It offers an elavated mass transit railway system of the most convenience in getting around. With 23 stations, they are conveniently located along Sukhumvit and Silom lines which operate daily from 0600 to 2400 hrs. BTS Skytrains covers many areas such as the commercial as well as the residential. One Day Pass and 3-Day Tourists Pass make exploring Bangkok easy and economical.

 BTS Skytrain passing Lumphini
Park, Silom by SWFC_Fan, 4 more photos
At the time of my visit in September 2007, there were two Skytrain lines:
The Silom line: 7 stops, connecting Saphan Taksin with National Stadium, with en-route stops including Sala Daeng (Silom) and Siam.
The Sukhumvit line: 16 stops, connecting Mo Chit with On Nut, with en-route stops including Asoke (Sukhumvit) and Siam.
The two Skytrain lines connect with each other at Siam.
The Skytrain connects with the MRTA subway at the following stops:
Sala Daeng (connects with Silom subway)
Asoke (connects with Sukhumvit subway)
Mo Chit (connects with Chatuchak Park subway)
Most of my journeys on the Skytrain were between Sala Daeng, National Stadium and Asoke, frequently needing to change from one line to the other at Siam.
The fares and times of my most common journeys were:
Sala Daeng – National Stadium = 20 Bahts (5-10 minutes)
National Stadium – Asoke = 25 Bahts (10-15 minutes, change of trains at Siam)
I studied a grid of fares at Asoke station and noted that the highest fare for an individual journey on the Skytrain was 40 Bahts.
Tickets are purchased from machines at the stations. Unlike the MRTA subway ticket machines, many machines for Skytrain tickets only accept coins, not notes. I had to change a note for coins at the information desk.
From the ticket machine, select the zone that your destination station is in and it’ll calculate the correct fare. You’ll receive a small cardboard ticket, about the size of a credit card, which must be inserted into the turnstile slot to access the platforms. At the end of your journey, you again insert the card into a turnstile to exit the platform, but this time it is not returned to you.
Trains run from early morning to late at night, are frequently very busy and (thankfully!) are air conditioned. Upcoming stops are announced in Thai and English. Leave a Comment

The Skytrain is a very fast and cheap way of travelling around Bangkok, it covers a large section of the city from the Chayo Praya river ( station Saphan Taksin) and luxury hotel area to Siam Square very close to great shopping at MBK etc, to Mo Chit where the Chatuchak Weekend Market, and to On Nut which is the Sukhumvit line. From many sections you can quickly alight and find other forms of transport, whether it be a River Taxi, the Metro , or bus.
However it is only on the Skytrain and Metro that you miss traffic holdups, even the river taxis can be held up waiting to enter a Klong as the lock may be closed.
The Skytrain has a 3 Day Tourist Pass, giving unlimited rides for 3 nights 4 days for just 280 Baht.
You can also purchase a 1 day pass for 100 baht. Happy Travelling. Leave a Comment

National Stadium Station - Ekkamai Station & vice versa
Sky train fare - THB 30
Going to Pattaya beach? Well, you have to reach Ekkamai Station first and then take the bus going to Pattaya from the Eastern Bus Terminal (Soi Sukhumvit 42) near Ekkamai Station. Leave a Comment

 Jon inside BTS Train by shintarojon
Visiting Pat Pong should not be missed for this is the sin city of Bangkok and souvenir shops too. Be ready for the "CALCULATOR" of the sellers in this place for they rather use calculator in giving the price rather than telling it to you directly....ready for computation???
BTS Sky Train fare - THB 20.00 Leave a Comment
