Bangkok BTS Skytrain Guide 2026: Routes, Stations, Fares & Operating Hours
The BTS Skytrain is Bangkok's main elevated rail network, connecting travelers to the city's shopping districts, cultural landmarks, and business hubs while bypassing the notorious traffic below. This guide covers everything you need to know about routes, fares, and schedules — plus a recommendation for a well-located hotel near BTS for your stay.
How Many BTS Lines Are There?
The BTS network runs on two main lines that meet at Siam Station:
- Sukhumvit Line (light green) — runs from Khu Khot in Pathum Thani province all the way to Kheha in Samut Prakan, covering more than 47 stations through key areas like Victory Monument, Phaya Thai, Asok, and Ekkamai.
- Silom Line (dark green) — runs from National Stadium to Bang Wa, covering 14 stations through Silom, Sathorn, and Wongwian Yai.
Siam Station is the main interchange point, letting passengers switch lines without exiting the paid area.
BTS Fares
Fares are calculated by distance traveled. The estimated 2026 fare range is 17-62 THB per trip, depending on the number of stations covered. Payment options include:
- Single-journey tickets
- Rabbit Card (rechargeable stored-value and travel-pass card)
- Rabbit LINE Pay and Rabbit Wallet
Fares are subject to periodic government-approved adjustments, so it's worth checking the official BTS website for the latest rates before you travel.
Operating Hours
BTS trains generally run from around 5:15 AM until midnight daily, with more frequent service during morning and evening rush hours. Exact first and last train times can vary slightly by station, so check the BTS app or website for station-specific schedules.
Route Map
A full interactive route map, including interchange points with the MRT Blue and Purple Lines and the Airport Rail Link, is available on the official BTS website — handy for planning multi-line trips across the city.
