As I'm Thai. I suggest you buy only BTS card and use your credit card to tap on the gate when ride MRT. (BTS still not accept credit card yet)

@goukifafa 10 месяцев назад

How do you find out how much is left on the card? Also, how much is it each journey around bangkok?

@santorini8423 4 месяца назад

@hassanalihusseini1717 Месяц назад

I never would use credit cards on MRT. Only because you lose track on your spendings. I have cards for BTS, MRT and ARL.

You can also pay your MRT fare with a Visa credit card that has the tap-to-pay microchip. Just tap on the reader at the ticket gate when you enter and tap again when you exit. The fare is computed automatically.

Put your transportation cards inside an id card lanyard. Wear it on your neck, it will saving time when tap in/out and also less chance to lost the card. Indonesian people usually doing this

@kamolhengkiatisak1527 Год назад

Thailand started bus service in Bangkok nearly 100 years ago, it was run by private bus operators at a reasonable price but still making a decent profit. However, about 45 years ago, a certain political party campaigned to make bus in Bangkok free and when this party came to power as a coalition govt, it nationalized bus services, buying the private operators and created Bangkok Mass Transport Authority (BMTA) to run a free bus service for a few years. When the govt could no longer afford the huge annual subsidy, it allowed the BMTA to charge a cheap ticket price for non-aircon buses and then introduced air-con buses at 2-3 times the price of non-aircon buses. The non-aircon buses have been running at a loss since then up to today while the air-con buses run at break-even. The BMTA then granted private bus operators to run non-aircon and air-con buses again about 30 years ago to reduce the BMTA's mounting debts as private operators seem to know how to run buses at a decent profit even though they charge the same ticket fares as BMTA's own buses. To this day, BMTA non-aircon red buses are still relatively cheap less than 10 baht, one of the cheapest fare in the world. Every year, the national govt allocates a supplementary budget to shore up BMTA's inefficient operation. It is apparent that the first populist policy of Thai govt does not work as is the case worldwide such as the bankrupted Venezuela and father of populist policy Argentina which seeks IMF help at least 6 times since WWII.

there is also a red line train that has station connected to don mueng airport(budget airlines).

There is also an airport link train from Suvarnabhumi airport to Bangkok center at 35 baht. Both Red Line and Airport Link are run by SRT whose history dates back more than 100 years at the reign of King Rama V.

@leesmith9299 10 месяцев назад

still not sure how to work out if the card is worth my while as you don't say how much lower the fairs are to make up for the 180bht cost?

@colinb8512 Год назад

With the BTS or MRT Cards, I assume that you choose how much money you want to put on the Card, is that correct? Is there any expiry time limit on either of the Cards? If either has an expiry, is there a way to work out how much money to put on the card (s)? I heard or read somewhere that there's an expiry with at least one of them and any unused balance is lost.
