Bangkok Bus travel is cheap with fares from 8-32 baht. Getting
around Bangkok by bus is a good way to see the city & experience
Bangkok travel like a local. City buses in Bangkok are plentiful
but getting around Bangkok by bus is also time-consuming and can
sometimes be confusing. The City Buses in Bangkok come in
different colors and are air-conditioned or non-air-conditioned.
There is also a rapid bus service (BRT) but this only runs on
one route. Most Bangkok buses are run by the BMTA, though
some routes are licensed to private operators. Air-Conditioned
buses are orange, yellow, blue or white.
Non-Air Conditioned buses are red, pink, blue, orange or
white. Bangkok Bus fares are not expensive. Air-Con bus fares
are between 11-32 baht depending on the distance. Non-Air
conditioned bus Fares are 8 baht (red), 10 baht (blue, white,
pink, orange). You buy a ticket from the conductor on board.
Don’t try to pay with large notes. Conductors can usually
change a 100 baht note max. Keep your ticket as inspectors often
hop on to check tickets. If traveling by air-conditioned
Bangkok bus, make sure you know the name of your destination as
you will need to tell the conductor. Most conductors understand
some English but they may not understand your pronunciation!
Drivers usually do not usually understand any English. |
