Frequently asked questions

What public transit card do I need in Bangkok?

Bangkok uses the Rabbit Card (BTS). The Rabbit Card covers the BTS Skytrain; the MRT subway uses a separate card — between them and app-based taxis, you rarely need a car.

Where do I buy the Rabbit Card (BTS) in Bangkok?

You can buy it at BTS Skytrain stations.

Is it worth getting a transit card for a short trip to Bangkok?

Usually yes — it's typically faster than buying paper tickets and often cheaper per ride, even for just a couple of days.

Can I use a contactless bank card instead in Bangkok?

In some cities you can tap a contactless card or phone directly, though it's worth checking current signage or the transit authority's site, since not every system supports it yet.
