🚌 Do you know about the BRT bus that runs along Rama III road in its own dedicated lane? The bus stops are in the middle of the road where there is an escalator to a pedestrian bridge so you can safely cross to either side. Starting from 1 September, you can ride this bus for free for 13 months.

This is my google map that I put together back in 2015. I think I will need to update it as I’m sure done things have changed.
