Your first ride on the BTS
Rabbit cards, tapping a credit card, and small etiquette on board.
The BTS is the easiest way round Bangkok from Ari — trains every 3–5 minutes at peak.
Tickets
Tap a contactless credit card at the gates, or get a Rabbit card if you're staying several days.
Etiquette
Stand on the right on escalators, give seats to monks, elders and children, and don't eat or drink on board.
