As Thailand is a regional hub, Bangkok has become one of the most
important cities in the region. As with the rest of the country, banking
services are efficient and reliable, and telecommunications services are
equally good. An international standard telephone network and high speed
Internet facilities help you keep in touch, whether you are here on holiday
or in Bangkok on business. With the introduction of the BTS ‘Sky Train’
elevated railway (and the more recent introduction of the MRT ‘Subway’
underground railway) alongside development of expressways and elevated
toll ways, travelling around Bangkok is now as convenient as travelling in
any major city.
