If you’re heading to Bangkok with the kids, the BTS Rabbit Card is a game-changer. It’s a prepaid contactless card for the BTS Skytrain – ideal for families who want to skip queues and travel with ease.
🚆 What Is the BTS Rabbit Card?
The Rabbit Card lets you tap in and out of BTS stations without buying single tickets. It also works at over 1,000 shops and restaurants across Bangkok. Think of it as Bangkok’s version of London’s Oyster Card.
🛍️ Why Families Should Use the Rabbit Card
- Skip Ticket Queues – No waiting at vending machines.
- Fast Entry & Exit – Tap-and-go convenience.
- Discounts & Promotions – Some fares are cheaper, and you’ll get perks at select stores.
- Multi-Use Payment – Use it for snacks, drinks, and shopping.
💳 Rabbit Card vs Single Journey Tickets
Single journey tickets cost between ฿17 to ฿47, depending on distance. With a Rabbit Card, fares are slightly lower – often saving ฿1 to ฿3 per ride. It not sound like much, but over a week of family travel, it adds up. Plus, you avoid the hassle of queuing and fiddling with coins.
