How to buy a Bangkok metro ticket at the machine?

Buying a Bangkok metro ticket at the machine is simple, but it's important to know a few nuances. BTS and MRT stations have different types of machines: TIM (accepts only 5 and 10 baht coins), ITM (coins and 20, 50, 100 baht bills) and TVM (the most advanced, gives change in small coins).

To purchase a single ticket on BTS:

1. Determine the fare to the desired station from the table next to the machine.
2. Press the button with the corresponding amount on the TIM machine or select the station on the touch screen of the ITM/TVM.
3. Insert coins or bills. The machine will issue a ticket and change.

In MRT, the process is similar, but instead of a card, you will receive a token that needs to be tapped at the turnstile when entering and dropped into the slot when exiting. If you don't have small change, exchange money at the ticket office. The machines support English, so there will be no problems with understanding.

For children, MRT tickets are sold only at ticket offices. If you plan to travel frequently, it's better to buy a pass or a stored-value card to avoid queues.
