#2: Alcohol is banned on the train. And the staff are strict to enforce it. We smuggled rum into a couple of bottles of coke, and we were asked three times if we were drinking alcohol. I am a 47-year-old woman travelling with two kids. Hardly a party animal. Just know that they will have their eye on you.
The ban from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. will be lifted on a trial basis for 180 days, after which its effects will be evaluated. An afternoon ban on selling beer, spirits and wine was enacted in 1972, when Thailand was under military rule, though the original reasons for the measure are now obscure.

How much is a one day pass on the MRT in Bangkok?
Bangkok's transport is cheap and well-connected via the BTS Skytrain and MRT Subway. A One-Day Pass costs 150 Baht (INR 344), while MRT rides are 15-49 Baht (INR 34-112).
Recommendations. We recommend using the metro and Skytrain as much as possible, not only to avoid traffic jams but also for your safety. In Bangkok taxis can be even scarier than in cities like Cairo. In Bangkok the cars are modern, and the drivers like to drive fast.
The best way to book train tickets involves booking early (12+ weeks out) for cheaper "Advance" fares, being flexible with travel times (off-peak is cheaper), using a Railcard for ~1/3 off, and comparing prices across platforms like the Trainline or operator sites (LNER, GWR), often saving by avoiding booking fees and checking for split tickets for major savings, according to Money Saving Expert and National Rail.
The Head is Sacred – The head is considered the highest part of the body in Thai culture. Avoid touching someone's head or even pointing your feet towards someone's head. The Power of the Feet – Similarly, the feet are considered the lowest part of the body. Don't point your feet at someone or a sacred object.
Standard Rabbit Card are available for sales at all MRT Yellow Line Ticket Offices. Standard Rabbit Card can be obtained for 200 Baht, which include 100 Baht issuing fees and 100 Baht initial stored values. There are no annual fees for Standard Rabbit Card.
To make your travels around Bangkok easier, I suggest you buy a Rabbit Card at any Skytrain station. It allows you to swipe on and off through the Skytrain network, rather than queuing for each trip at the ticket machine. Rabbit cards can also be used as a debit card at places like 7-11, and fast food outlets.
Thailand has strict laws against drug use, possession and trafficking. Possessing small quantities of illegal substances can lead to heavy fines or imprisonment. Possessing Class A drugs can lead to the death penalty.
