How to buy a MRT ticket
- When going down until facing the ticketing area, there are two options to buy a ticket – buy it from an MRT officer or from a ticket machine.
* In the case of visitors are newcomers, to buy a ticket from officer would be a recommended choice since it is easier, it can avoid making a mistake, and the officer can provided additional information needed also. Just tell them a destination. Give the money. Take a token returned. Only one drawback of this is that at a busy time visitors might have to wait for the queue longer than buying from the machine.
* In the case of ticket machine, it is also not difficult to get a ticket.
> Select a destination on the screen, which is touched screen function. The screen will then show the price of the ticket.
> Give money into the machine. This machine can take either Thai notes or Thai coins.
> Take the token and changes (if any) from the machine.
Firstly it's not a ticket. You will get a small black plastic circular token the size of a coin. This token uses RFID contactless technology to let you enter the platforms. You can also purchase a 1, 3, and 30 day pass directly from a person at one of the kiosks.
1) The most common method and easiest for tourists is to simply insert coins and/or notes into the ticket/token machines located just before the barriers to get a token.
Each machine has a large touch screen that is available in Thai or English. Simply touch the screen to activate it and press "English" on the top right hand corner. The screen will display a map showing the MRT route and stations. Simply touch the circle beside the name until it goes green to display the price you need to pay. The screens need to be long pressed rather than short pressed.
When you know the value of the token insert either a note into the flat slot under the coin slot or use coins for the coin slot at the top. If using notes stick with 20 baht notes that are in good condition. The machines will except 100 baht notes but you will get all your change in coin!
Once you've inserted the correct change the small black token will be dispensed into a tray at the bottom of the machine on the left hand side. After a 3 second delay your change will drop down into the right hand side of the tray.
2) You may skip the machine altogether and purchase a token directly from a person at one of the kiosks in the MRT station. This works well if the MRT is busy.
3) 1,3 and 30 MRT passes are available at the kiosks but are not great value for tourists unless you plan to take many MRT trips in one day.
