- A journey from the Sukhumvit MRT station to Chinatown in Bangkok, Thailand. The MRT ride is operated by the Bangkok Expressway and Metro Public Company Limited (BEM). I thought the ride was very efficient and run well!

The MRT train looks modern and efficient, and I like the platform screen doors. Wat Mangkon Station is nicely decorated with art work and looks modern! 😍 Thank you for sharing this informative and relaxing train ride, AK! 🤗
You're welcome, glad you enjoyed the video
I loved how easy it was to take the MRT while I was in Bangkok just by tapping your card and proceeding through
Yes, it's so convenient with tap and pay!
The subway looks tidy and very well kept. What a smooth ride. Bangkok is impressive ❤
Yes, it's such an impressive city
I remember I used the extension from Hualamphong to Wat Mangkon on the day when it opened. Must have been in 2018 or 2019. I loved the decorations.
Especially BTS stations are made of the same brutalistic Thai style architecture, but some MRT stations at least are more traditional Thai.
It can be adjusted. In the past there were seats but some were removed. To carry more passengers
The reason for wearing a backpack on the front is because there are gangs of pickpockets from neighboring countries who come in to disguise themselves as tourists and cause trouble. The police have caught many cases. Some escaped and were able to return to their country. Most come from Vietnam and Cambodia.
I totally enjoyed this video. Great info and ride!!
Another nice transportation video which are my favorites 😎Nice and clean Metro Station 4:14 and those security guards were so helpful🙂 The metro ride itself looked quite nice and enjoyable despite the lack of seating 🙂Thank you for sharing this informative, enjoyable and relaxing metro ride A K🙂👍!!!
Much appreciated, it's a very efficient metro system
You said it all!!
ActionKid, I am glad you rode the MRT Blue Line in Bangkok for the second time. Hopefully you will post a video of you riding the BTS Skytrain.
Much appreciated!
Fantastic move by AK to take the BTS train to China Town, the journey if by car would be at least an hour. The ride is pretty smooth and by 4.00pm, AK reached the Wat Mangkon Station 🚉, which housed some art and craft works as well as a large local map essentially for tourists...very useful indeed! Haven't ride on this line yet...thanks AK for bringing us along the entire journeys 🎉😂😅
It was the MRT, not the BTS train but I'm glad you enjoyed it
Terrific video Ken!! It’s fabulous that you and Johnny have been able to meet up in Bangkok!! Johnny sure lives it there!! I know exactly where you are from my own trips to Thailand! Traffic can be insane! Hey the temp isn’t too bad. Sometimes it’s insanely hot to the point of being a bit overwhelming! I usually stay at the Weston in Bangkok. It’s nice and central and easy to get around to lots of places on foot or on the metro! Have a terrific time Ken!! Cheers!!
Thank you very much, glad you had your own experiences here in Thailand as well
@@ActionKid Thanks so much Ken!! 🙂
Thanks for focusing on the city and other people and not like some other uploaders who suffocate viewers but showing their own faces on the video all the time.
Thank you for this. So many videos just show people riding the MRT and now actually how to use your card and such. Even better is I'll be staying in Chinatown, so this was a perfect video for me to show how I can use my visa and not the ticket machines and wait in line. I see the stations look very similar to how they are in Beijing, Seoul and even the Jubilee line and now Elizabeth lines are in London with the dual doors. I still like the old school subway style ones much better, but these are far more safer for sure. I assume the Airport link and BTS lines allow credit cards like this as well?
Got to be Charles Schwab Visa debit card though....no transaction fees. Others you'll have to pay the fee each transaction. ATM is the best to withdraw at the max (to avoid the fees).
@@paoxerox I have the United Explorer card so they also don't have any foreign transaction fees either. For cash, I'm bringing US $ and exchanging it there as Thailand has one of the worst ATM fees (along with your home bank ATM fees), which is generally about $7 per ATM usage with them combined. Bringing US $ and exchanging at the kiosks (though BKK might not the the best) is much better. Just have to make sure the bills are new and not written on as many exchange places won't take them if they are damaged in anyway...
No, only MRT that accept credit card.
great videos, I also hope to reach these levels one day !!
Thank you so much!
You should definitely ride the water taxis on the Chao Phrya River while you are in Bangkok. Very cheap and you get a great view of the city (and river, too, obviously).
Absolutely!
The Metro 🚇 must pass the very high standards of The ActionKid ! 🐼
Looking very nice here from earlier your time today 3/5/2024. 😊
Yes, I do have seen the international fee charged to my credit and debits cards from my two banks here in the US, when I travel. I have always called the back to let them know that I am going out of the country.😊
Plus, I do have a couple of Visa gift cards in my luggage for more back funds.😊
I saw as you got ready to get off the subway and you pulled your backpack from the floor! Hmm! Did you have your backpack between your legs protecting it that way as you were holding the train bar?? Maybe, if you do not want the backpack on your back then reverse it and place it on your front side of your body! So, that you can protect your backpack and have it close to you instead of being on the floor just beside you!!!😮😮 Besides that the flood is dirty with everyone stepping on and off of the subway!😮
Yes, we here in Chicago have transit card. And there is the transit Account App that many people have set up to just tap their cellphone. I use the transit card and add funds at the grocery store.😊
Finally, your China Town walk was nice!!😅 As you were almost finished walking, I saw the gentleman and his wife/girlfriend in front of you. He, the gentleman, had his backpack reversed and placed on his front part of his body. I take it, he was making sure his items were safe.😊

In Boston MA USA we have special care that are standing room only during rush hour! Cars lol!😊👻
That's great, I saw that too!
Welcome to Bangkok! 😎
Thanks!
Nice content 🤗🙂👍🎉🎊
Notice Wat Mangkon has (BL 29) next to it for Blue Line whereas Kamphaeng Phet has (BL12) next to it. This is the stop for Chatuchak Weekend Market. Thai names tend to be long hence most Thai people use nicknames with about two or three letters. In this example if someone wants to get to Chatuchak Weekend Market best to use the BL 12 instead of trying to pronounce the name of the station, Kamphaeng Phet. It's the largest outdoor/indoor market in Thailand. I was at the market in mid December 2023 the temperature was around 93 burning up. Anyone goes there best to take an umbrella to shade from the oppressive sun while walking around the outdoor market.
@ActionKid looks like you’re recording with the iPhone again. Is the Pocket 3 overheating due to the high temperatures in Bangkok?
Just a different piece of equipment for my needs since I didn't want a gimbal.
I was never a big fan of these tourists areas, so I generally stayed away from them when I could - which was often (thank the gods!)
Always ask for a price when you use taxis , motorcycles, etc and be careful of getting ripped off. Watch out for tour rip-offs , food, con artists and stores! Trains buses maybe boats are ok but still be cautious and ask for a fair price!🇺🇸☘️

People around the world here and also include bad people .This morning a Chinese man was caught stealing an Indian man's bag on a plane before landing.
If you come from NYC, you get very spoiled traveling to Asian countries and riding the metro systems which are the best in the world.
Travelled on the underground services in New York It was very different from Bangkok, very different. Yes, New York underground provides possibilities to travel the entire city (of course not Staten Island), but.... I would not allow myself to consider it as the cleanest system in the world...and sometimes you have fellow passengers who - how should I say - have a rather special kind of attitude.
Are you coming to Bali as well?
Do we want MRT Bangkok
Hey, Kenneth, I haven't been keeping up on videos but wanted to know if you knew that Canadian Travelfun69 TH-camr is in Thailand right now?
