Using the Bangkok BTS (Sky Train)

The BTS (Sky Train) in Bangkok is excellent for getting above the traffic and reaching your destination in comfort -- irrespective of the traffic jams below. I hope this will help those going to Bangkok for the first time to feel more comfortable about using the BTS -- it really is very user friendly. There are route maps inside each carriage and an electronic voice announces the next station shortly after leaving the last station and again before arriving at the next. For 2 people a taxi can still be cheaper -- depending on traffic conditions, time of the day etc. The BTS is clean safe, reliable and has great air conditioning.
