What you need to know about Bangkok traffic

Bangkok’s traffic situation has greatly improved since the advent of the Skytrain and MRT at the beginning of the 21st century. However, the streets still regularly gridlock, so if you live somewhere that requires a taxi journey to move around, be prepared for unpredictable delays on a regular basis.

The best way to see all of Bangkok’s Skytrain and MRT stops is to get a good Bangkok map like the Bangkok Groovy Map. This clearly shows all the station stops and Bangkok’s points of interests, including landmarks, restaurants, shopping complexes and more, all in one easy to digest fold out map. I’ve tried a lot of Bangkok maps and this is definitely the best one I’ve found so far.

Once you’ve got a grasp of the different areas of Bangkok and how they are related to one another, you can start looking for Bangkok apartments with a much better idea about location.
