Bus
Bangkok’s public buses are a cheap if not always comfortable way to get around the city. They are run by the Bangkok Mass Transit Authority (0 2246 4262; www.bmta.co.th), which has a website with detailed information on bus routes. Air-con fares typically start at 10B or 12B and increase depending on distance. Fares for ordinary (fan-con) buses start at 7B or 8B. Most of the bus lines run between 5am and 10pm or 11pm, except for the ‘all-night’ buses, which run from 3am or 4am to midmorning.
Bangkok Bus Map by Roadway, available at Asia Books and some 7-Eleven stores, is the most up-to-date route map available.
