Bangkok Transit System (BTS) Skytrain
Best known as the Skytrain, the capitol's first mass transit system is a quick way to get around. The system isn't very big, with only two lines, so it probably won't go exactly where you going, but it can cut a lot of time from a cross town trip. Single trip tickets cost 15 to 40 Baht (203 fares). One-day passes good for unlimited trips cost 120 Baht. Multi-trip and stored value tickets are also available.
