Bangkok By Rivers and Rail - BTS and MRT


Bangkok's BTS (Bangkok Mass Transit System, also known as the SkyTrain) which travels on an elevated railway, and MRT (Metropolitan Rapid Transit, which travels underground) are the most effective ways of commuting across the wildly busy city. We"ll start our journey on the rails of these two sleek new systems.
