To make traveling on BTS Bangkok easier, you can get a prepaid card that can be topped up and used for tapping in and out at the station. The Rabbit Card is the most popular Bangkok BTS card for tourists and locals, as it can be used as a ticket on the most popular Skytrain lines and also for getting special deals at a wide range of shops and restaurants around Bangkok.
