Bangkok Skytrain is a fast, economical and efficient way to reach Bangkok. This guide will let you know where I get off the skytrain at some of the main attractions of Bangkok.
The Silom line is one of two lines of the Bangkok BTS Skytrain elevated rail system that many areas of the capital, the hedged interest for tourists. The other line is the line of Sukhumvit and these two lines intersect at Siam station, one of the most important stages ofNetwork
The Silom line runs from National Stadium in Siam, sharing with the line of Sukhumvit to Siam, then go down through the Silom area and crosses the majestic Chao Phraya River and close to two stops Wongwian Yai. If these names are not for you, do not worry I'll show you some of the interesting things to see and do close to a lot of these stations have.
National Stadium
This is the first stop on the Silom line and order hereis one of the great youth mecca of Bangkok, MBK Center (Mah Boon Krong) to find. This is a multi-storey shopping mall which has stores in fashion (and knock-offs), as well as many restaurants and a multiplex cinema. There are also a large number of electronics stores and that's where a lot of people to buy their phones. You can also unlock your iPhone here and in a local SIM card so that you can avoid extravagant spending for data transfer while on vacation.
Jim Thompson House,A museum on the life and times of the famous Silk Baron is also in this area. Jim Thompson silk shops are everywhere in Bangkok and it certainly left its mark on the territory. The museum was built in a beautiful house and is a fascinating view of past days in Bangkok.
Siam
Siam station is one of the busiest stations on the network and also serves as Skytrain interchange format between the line of Sukhumvit and Silom. And 'well on, where when you areWant to go shopping.
Siam Paragon opened exclusive shopping center in Thailand in December 2005 and includes more than 400,000 square meters. Almost all of the luxury brands have their flagship stores located in 250 companies here can remember.
Inside Siam Paragon, Siam Paragon Cineplex will screen 21, which is also an IMAX cinema. Going to the cinema in Thailand is very cheap, with tickets costing the equivalent of about 3 USDMaybe you want to spend a little more, however, and seeks to offer truly luxurious VIP seats, reclining leather seats with ceiling and table service.
In the basement of Siam Paragon, Siam Ocean World, hosts the largest aquarium in Southeast Asia, with 10,000 square feet. The aquarium is home to 30,000 marine animals of 400 species.
On the opposite side of the road from Siam Paragon is a lively district of Siam Square, a trendy area of shops and restaurants popular with young Bangkokians.This area is always lively and there is a great place to see new trends. You can also find Siam Discovery Center here and a Hard Rock Cafe.
Sala Daeng
This is the channel you want to go if you want to see the famous Patpong. Patpong night market which is very popular with tourists who are everything from jeans to look fake and pirated CDs and DVDs, and many crafts.
Patpong is perhaps best known, though it has many go-go barsthe line on both sides of the road, night markets and a number of other houses nearby streets.
There are also a number of clubs, restaurants and bars in this area, but tourists are too expensive and for many foreigners.
Saphan Taksin
Saphan Taksin was the last stop on the Silom line until May 2009 when the network through the Chao Phraya River has two other stations, extended to the many commuters who live to be just in Thon Buri.
Since theRiver has a ferry Saphan Taksin Pier, where many local stop ferries, boats and Chao Phraya River Express boat shuttle from the river many 5 star hotels and pick up passengers. A series of dinner-cruise companies leave from here.
A free ride to the hotel boarding of a ship canal, guests taxi up and down the river itself. Bangkok Marriott Resort & Spa is located in the valley about 15 minutes and two teak boats going back and forth between thesePier and the hotel all day until late evening. Do not have a guest in the drawing board this boat and has a great view of the skyline of Bangkok, at no charge.
The Skytrain is a very effective and economical way to travel around Bangkok, with the price of 15 baht (about 45 U.S. cents) to a maximum of 40 baht (USD1.20). The stations are clearly marked in English and there are also ads in the car in English.
With the streets ofBangkok notoriously clogged most of the day with a seemingly endless traffic, the Skytrain is a smart way to move the largest city of Thailand.
