One of the easiest ways to get around Bangkok is by skytrain. Although the route isn't very comprehensive yet, it still has made a lot of difference for many people. The traffic in Bangkok is really bad and this is a good way to move along Sukhumwit Road in a short time. Also, many of the stations have sky-bridges that take you straight into the major shopping malls without having to go down to the street. One of the first things I liked about the sky train (called BTS by the Thai people) is that it showed me how green Bangkok was. However, now that they have giant advertising on the outside of the train, it isn't so easy to see out.
I suppose this video isn't too exciting as there are no fights or
anyone falling down drunk. But is does show you how modern and clean
Bangkok can be! This does surprise a lot of people.
