BTS & MRT

Use Bangkok’s rail network with confidence: tickets, lines, changes, stops and exits.

By the end of this lesson

Ask for a rail ticket or card top-up, check your line and understand an exit instruction.

Learn ticket and route exchanges for BTS and MRT. Any quoted fare is an invented language-practice example; confirm real journeys with current station information.

Say this now

One ticket to Asok, please.

Say as a mankhǒr dtǔa bpai à sòhk nèung bai khrápขอตั๋วไปอโศกหนึ่งใบครับ
Say as a womankhǒr dtǔa bpai à sòhk nèung bai khâขอตั๋วไปอโศกหนึ่งใบค่ะ

The recordings speak complete examples. Replace the destination and amount with your own. The quoted fare is invented for practice; check real journeys at the station.

Sentence shape: Request a ticket → to → your destination → number of tickets → polite ending.
