PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION

Public transportation

Bangkok
There are different options of public transportation in Bangkok. First one is of course the bus. We never took it because it doesn’t seem like easy option when you don’t speak thai… And also the bus seems really really crowded. But we use the BTS and the MRT a lot (Skytrain and Subway) they cover most of bangkok touristic area and are really easy to use (also cheap). In the train, you have announcement in english so you won’t have to worry about not getting off at the right station and for tickets they have ticket booth that are in english (or thai). The counter officier normally speaks a little english as well. And last but not least, the main advantage of the BTS and MRT system, it’s climatised !!

Singapore
As always, you can pay for each of your travel. the price is usually between 2-3$ according to the length of your travel. (The system in singapore is with the stations name, the further you go the more expensive it’s get)

Tourist card
For the tourist pass you have 3 option 24h, 48h or 72h. Respectively 10-16-20$ plus a 10$ deposit that you get back when you give the card back. There’s also some options allowing you to keep it and the card has a mascot on it. (It’s cute…) With that card in your hand, you can take the public transport has much as you want. It’s unlimited, only the time frame. If you activate a 1 days card at noon on monday, it will get desactivate at noon on tuesday.
