What to prepare before boarding a train in Thailand
Cash
Some trains can only be ridden with cash.
Therefore, please have a little cash ready.In particular, you will need to exchange money in your home country or at the airport if you are traveling from the airport, as the trains directly connected to the airport are cash only.
This is AirportRail Link, which is directly connected to the airport, but it is cash only.
To buy a ticket, touch the destination station on the touch screen, insert cash, and a plastic coin will appear,
You just touch that to the silver board on the LCD screen of the ticket gate.
There is also a place to put your carry-on case in this train.
現金でしか乗れない列車があるため現金を少し用意しておく必要があります。
特に、空港直結の電車は現金のみのため空港から利用する場合は、自国または空港で両替をしておくことが必要です。
こちらは空港直結のAirportRail Linkですが、現金のみです。
チケットの買い方はタッチパネルで行き先の駅をタッチして現金を入れるとプラスチック製のコインが出てきますので、
そちらを改札の液晶画面のシルバーの板にタッチするだけ。
こちらの電車内にはキャリーケースを置く場所もあります。
Credit card with touch payment function
Although the number of routes where this service is available is limited, there are trains that can be used with touch payment, so in such cases, there is no need to buy a ticket every time.
If your current credit card does not allow touch-sensitive payment, we recommend that you get a new card that does. It is very convenient.
タッチ決済が可能な列車もあるので、その場合はいちいち切符を買う必要はありません。
クレジットカードがタッチ決済に対応していない場合は、タッチ決済に対応した新しいカードを作る事をお勧めします。
LINE PAY Download
Some routes allow you to purchase tickets using LINE PAY. If you wish to travel with as little cash as possible and use electronic money or credit cards, it is convenient to register in advance.
路線によってはLINE PAYでチケットを購入可能です。
なるべく現金を使わず、電子マネーやクレジットカードで移動したい場合は、事前に登録しておくと余計な手間が省けます。
What to prepare before getting on a train in Thailand
The atmosphere of the subway varies from country to country, but from my experience of riding multiple lines and multiple times, I felt it was safe. The closer you get to the center of the city, the more tourists you will see, and at the suburban stations, the locals are riding quietly.
The trains themselves are unmanned, but you may see one person from the BTS company on board to manage the cars.
However, no matter where you go, you are visiting another country, so please use the trains with risk management and respect for the other country.
地下鉄の雰囲気は国によって違うが、複数路線、複数回乗った経験から、安全だと感じました。
都心に近づくにつれ観光客が多くなり、郊外の駅では地元の人が静かに乗車していました。
電車自体は無人運転だが、BTS会社の人が1人乗って車両を管理しているのを見かけることがあります。
ただ、どこの国に行っても他国を訪問させてもらっているのですから、危機管理と相手国への敬意をもって利用するべきですね。
