THANK YOU for the video! Very informative. Wanted to confirm that as a SENIOR (65 yrs old) but a US citizen I am not eligible to purchase a Senior Rabbit card? Thank you again. Looking forward to more videos.
Hi! It is implied that Rabbit card can be used on all BTS lines. The tricky part is that the one-day pass don't work for Gold Line. And because Dark Green Line and Gold Line cannot be interchanged inside the station, when you use Rabbit Card to transfer lines, you'll need to exit first and enter, and fees will be deducted two times for two lines. This rule also applies to single journey card, because you will need to purchase two single journey cards for two lines.
Hi! According to Google Maps it's close to Saint Louis on BTS Silom Line (the dark green line). If where you start is along the Sukhumvit Line, you can transfer to Silom Line at the Siam station
Hi! I don't think you can use credit card on the vending machine, but you can do so at the ticket counter where the staff are at. I'll double check for you when I'm in the BTS station some time this week :)
This is by far the best BTS information video online! Extremely well put together! I’ll share it in a future video for people to check out 👍🏻 amazing work
If I get it correctly, the BTS only have 3 lines? the rest are MRT? Is the Rabbit card usable for MRT line as well, OR is there a daily pass like the BTS?
Good question! What makes things complicated is actually who owns and operates which line: The 3 skytrain lines mentioned in the video (Light Green, Dark Green, and Golden Lines) are all owned and operated by BTS. The two new skytrain lines (Yellow Line & Pink Line) are owned by MRT and operated by a joint venture with BTS, so Rabbit Card is accepted by Yellow Line and Pink Line. But the other MRT lines (Blue Line, Purple Line) are owned and operated by MRT, so Rabbit Card doesn't work for these two lines. MRT does not offer day passes now. *the owners and operators are not named BTS or MRT exactly but I will not go into details here to make things more confusing.
Sorry, I should've have been more specific. The one-day pass works for both light green line (Sukhumvit line) and the dark green line (Silom line), but not for the gold line.
Khop Khun Krap for the info, Dumb Question - Is there a card that does all Public Transport EG i get off the Plane grab my Bunny (rabbit) Card then grab the train to Hua Hin and top up accordingly when required use the said card for buses etc,, this would solve lining up for tickets thus stream lining the system. Perhaps i am dreaming?
Hi Steve! It's not a dumb question at all. Unfortunately there is no such card that supports all public transport for Thailand or for Bangkok. Rabbit Card does work for some buses but not all of them. Since BTS, MRT, and the train system SRT belong to different companies and they don't share profit, you'll have to purchase tickets separately.
Yes, the same ticket. When you purchase the ticket on the machine, you can just choose your final destination, and interchange inside the station, no need to go out.
After searching numerous videos, this was the most clear explanation for using the system. One question: I've heard that if you have a Visa card with a chip, it's possible to tap it to pay for fares as you enter a station. As you tap it to exit the system, it will calculate the fare. Is that correct?
Thank you so much for your compliment! That definitely encourages us to make more info guide videos in the future 🥰 As for tapping Visa card, that works for MRT, which is the underground train system (not related to BTS). As far as I know, the Visa card needs to be a credit card with a chip.
Senior Rabbit Card may only be used by Thai Senior Citizens aged 60 years and over so this senior card cannot be purchased by foreigners even if they are over 60 years old.
Thanks for your explanation. this is still on the list, but this year I was in phuket. really want to come back as I enjoyed my stay and hope the government won't make cannabis illegal again. I liked the clean shops and supported them.
Thanks for a very informative video. Btw, MRT and ART systems should be included for a comprehensive guide for metro throughout Bangkok.
Thank you so much! Will do in the future!
Hi i was wondering, if i purchase the One day pass card, can i use it on the Chao Phraya boat or not?
Hey, sadly you cannot. The one day pass only works for BTS Sukhumvit Line and Silom Line (aka. the light green line and the dark green line)
THANK YOU for the video! Very informative. Wanted to confirm that as a SENIOR (65 yrs old) but a US citizen I am not eligible to purchase a Senior Rabbit card? Thank you again. Looking forward to more videos.
Thank you so much for your support! Unfortunately only Thai citizens are eligible to purchase the Senior Rabbit card at the moment.
May I know can Rabbit' card also use on the new GOLD line or not? Because you hav missed up this point.
Hi! It is implied that Rabbit card can be used on all BTS lines. The tricky part is that the one-day pass don't work for Gold Line. And because Dark Green Line and Gold Line cannot be interchanged inside the station, when you use Rabbit Card to transfer lines, you'll need to exit first and enter, and fees will be deducted two times for two lines.

Hi dear just I want to know how I can go to empire tower by BTS I mean which station I have to stop
Hi! According to Google Maps it's close to Saint Louis on BTS Silom Line (the dark green line). If where you start is along the Sukhumvit Line, you can transfer to Silom Line at the Siam station
I’ve been in Thailand for 5 years. I love the BTS Sky Train. Thank you for the video. Welcome to Bangkok 🙏
Thank you so much for sharing this video, clear information and very detail. 😘
Very informative..thanks for sharing..my friend 🎉
Can you just use your credit card or Visa card like Revolut or wise instead of buying tickets?
Hi! I don't think you can use credit card on the vending machine, but you can do so at the ticket counter where the staff are at. I'll double check for you when I'm in the BTS station some time this week :)
@@BangkokLifestyleUpdates thank you

Do kids need to pay for tickets for both BTS and MRT?
Kids under 90cm height can use BTS and MRT for free

@@BangkokLifestyleUpdates I see, thanks for the thorough explanation❤
a well done video, clear and with enough guidance! thank you for sharing. looking forward to watching the exploring bangkok using BTS
Glad it was helpful!
You said the one-day pass is for BTS green line? Can the one- day pass use for all BTS station in Silom line, Shkhumvit and gold line?
Sorry, I should've have been more specific. The one-day pass works for both light green line (Sukhumvit line) and the dark green line (Silom line), but not for the gold line.
Excellent very clear speaking very helpful as well finding your way round. Thank you the best I seen yet about The BTS skytrain well done.
@@michaelsmithy5814 Thank you Michael!!

Wow I actually didn't know it's owned by Iconsiam group. Thank you for the info!
