Guide to using contactless credit/debit cards and Mangmoom cards for Bangkok's MRT and buses.
In Bangkok, most transport systems (BTS, MRT, Boats) use their own specific cards or cash. However, modern systems like the MRT and some buses now accept EMV Contactless (Visa/Mastercard) credit and debit cards, making it much easier for tourists.
Google Maps is generally very reliable for BTS, MRT, and even some boat schedules in Bangkok. For buses, ViaBus is the recommended app for real-time tracking of BMTA buses.
