How to pay for Bangkok MRT?

Okay, so, Bangkok’s MRT… how do you pay for it? Right? It sounds way more complicated than it actually is. I remember the first time I used it, I was so nervous I’d mess it up. Seriously! But it’s honestly a piece of cake. See, they have these ticket machines everywhere. Like, seriously, everywhere. And they’re bright and easy to understand, which is a lifesaver, especially when you’re jet-lagged and just want to get to your hotel. (Anyone else feel that way after a long flight? Just me?)

Anyway, you just find your stop on the touchscreen – it’s even in English! – tap it, and then it tells you how much. Then, you can pay with cash – baht, of course – or just tap your credit card. Done! So easy. I mean, I’ve seen some complicated transit systems in my life – trying to get a travel card in some cities feels like a full-time job! But this? This is a dream. It’s even easier, I think, than the London Underground, and that’s saying something. Remember that time we got lost trying to figure out the Oyster card, Sarah? Nightmare!

So yeah, don’t stress about the Bangkok MRT payment system. It’s super straightforward. You’ll be whizzing around the city in no time.
