The sky train, Bangkok's overhead light railway system, provides a great way to get around many of the major shopping, business and commercial areas around central Bangkok. Finished in 1999, it is a great alternative to sitting in Bangkok's legendary traffic. There are two lines which run through the heart of the main areas. Trains run every 3 - 6 minutes from 6am-midnight daily (last train around 23:50). During peak hours (7am-9am & 5pm-8pm) trains run every 2 minutes.

The sky train prices vary from 10 - 40 baht depending on the number of stops. Great deals with unlimited 1-3 day travel passes are available. Just 280 baht buys a 3 day unlimited travel pass or, if you're planning to stay longer or return to the city later, buy 10 journeys valid at any time for 250 baht.

At certain times special promotions include discount vouchers which can be used at shopping centers around the sky train stops. Contact the ticket counter for details.
