The BTS is a fairly new but very welcome addition to Bangkok's transport infrastructure. It runs above the roads on huge concrete pillars. There are just 2 lines - known as the Sukhumvit and Silom lines. The network isn't that extensive but additions are being built. It runs from 6am to midnight and fares are from 10 to 40 baht. A one day pass costs 100 baht and 3 day tourist passes are also available.
The trains are air-conditioned (essential for Bangkok) and spotlessly clean with not a hint of graffiti or rubbish inside.

It's a convenient and user friendly option to avoid the traffic jam while visiting the major shopping and entertainment centers, and other attractions in inner Bangkok. You can change at Phaya Thai Station for the Express Train to the Airport (State Railway of Thailand, SRT). The Mo Chit Station is walking distance from the famous Chatuchak Market (weekend market).
