Is there a traffic jam in Bangkok? When is the traffic jam in Bangkok?

In fact, traffic jams don't just happen in China. In Bangkok, they are actually traffic jams. Is it bad for the whole person to meet the traffic jam? Then Bian Xiao will tell you how to solve the traffic jam when traveling.

Traffic jam traffic raiders light rail system, light rail system is divided into BTS (sky), MRT (subway) and AirportLink (airport express). I have made a picture before, and it is easy to sort out these three lines. You can have a look.

I think people who come to Bangkok for free travel must master this light rail system. There is a lot of information on the Internet. Even many local destinations have light rail traffic instructions, such as which station the hotel gets off at and at which exit. A little suggestion, there is no unified Chinese name for all systems of light rail. All the Chinese station names you see are transliterated by Chinese living in the local area, which is actually not helpful for you to buy tickets in the end. Therefore, even if you memorize it, you should find out how the name of the station you are sitting in is written in English. The BTS system has letters and numbers such as N 1-N2-N3, which is very convenient and can be used by everyone.

2. Waterway traffic system. Waterway traffic system can be divided into two types. One is based on both sides of the Chao Phraya River, including the ferry. We usually call it Chao Fa Ya.

Express (Chao Phraya River Shipping), a shipping system, is actually very convenient for people on both sides of the Chao Phraya River, and there are transfer stations in the middle to transfer with BTS and BRT (Bangkok Bus Rapid Transit, which may be banned soon), so it is quite convenient. However, it has three lines (orange, green and yellow). For ordinary tourists, there is no need to know so many stops, so it is still the same.

Ok, now let's talk about another waterway system: KhlongSaenSaepExpress.

Ship (this is the inland river traffic in Bangkok), this traffic is also divided into two lines, and you can also transfer to subway and light rail in the middle. You can go to Jinshan Temple Station, which is close to the Grand Palace and Kau Shan Road. The middle station of the two lines is Watergate Station, which is under the Watergate Bridge. It is both affordable and convenient. You can understand this suggestion. I also want to give you a map and the names of the sites, and mark several important sites. Can you understand simple English? If it is really difficult, it is not recommended to travel freely. It is best to charter a car.

Well, we have finished talking about two relatively large transportation systems. If it is not clear, we can discuss it again. Finally, let's talk about China people's favorite way, mobile phone taxi calling software. I won't introduce Uber here, because Uber is not doing well in Thailand. I mainly introduce an app called Grab, which can be downloaded from the Apple Store and supports Alipay payment!

The advantage of this software is that you can take a taxi or a private car. At the same time, you don't need a credit card. You can choose Alipay, deduct RMB or spend money. It is very convenient and accurate. Chinese place names are not supported, but English place names are supported. Therefore, as long as you can type the destination address in some well-known places, such as CentralWorld, Asia and so on. , you can call a taxi smoothly. Other modes of operation are similar to Didi and Uber. , so I won't say much. Everyone will know the best place after using it. He can call it Moto, hahaha, so when there is traffic jam, there is no need to be afraid at all. At the gate of Siam, it's a long way to go to Chinatown, because the taxi is too blocked and the light rail has to be changed. At this time, you can call a motorcycle with Grab and enjoy riding the wind! This is the operation interface. Remember, GrabBike(Win) is a motorcycle, and the other GrabBike(Delivery) is a city express, which we usually use to deliver urgent items.

Finally, I want to give some advice to tourists. It takes a certain amount of language ability and time to be familiar with various modes of transportation like a local like me. Sometimes when you go out to play, you may not want to spend so much energy on these things. In addition, in case there are many people, the cost is actually not cheaper than renting a car. Therefore, according to your ability, time and budget, choose the most suitable mode of transportation.

When is the worst time to go to work, especially during working hours? The time difference between Thailand and China is one hour, and the working hours are roughly the same as those in China, from 9 am to 6 pm, depending on the company. It is generally not too crowded at noon, because Thais usually have an hour or an hour and a half lunch break, and basic office workers are active near the company. But sooner or later, it will be banned, such as Xilong area. I'm not sure if there will be a special traffic jam on weekends, but if you go to a place like the weekend market, traffic jams are necessary.

Bangkok has a rich nightlife. Bangkok people get up late or go out for activities. There are few traffic jams in the morning. After 1 1 p.m, the traffic jam started at 5 or 6 p.m and lasted until 9: 10 p.m.. The congestion time on Saturday is similar.

Traveling in Bangkok still recommends subway or subway, which is fast and convenient. If the elderly are afraid to go up and down the stairs, personally, I think the subway and Sky Railway are fine, especially Sky Railway, which does have elevators, but the subway does not pay attention.
