If BTS Sky Train is above ground, MRT naman is underground. They run through different routes, but there are certain stations where they have BTS/MRT interchange. I loved my first MRT ride so much, I told Richard and Aly that we should try it together. So last Saturday, we rode the MRT to Chatuchak. When I told Aly that we're going to ride a different train, she asked me if it's like a rollercoaster. Sabi ko, "Babe, hindi sya tulad ng Space Mountain. Regular train lang sya." Heehee!

Another first train ride for Aly. MRT naman this time.

I thought the Sky Train was tops, but I think the MRT station is better. Aircon kasi, at saka feeling ko nasa ibang bansa ako dito. Heehee!

MRT is less crowded compared to the Sky Train.

Happy to share this new experience with my hubby :)

Super long escalator.

This is where you wait for the train, but we realized that we were in the wrong terminal. Eeeek! So we had to go back up.

We are here...

The train is here!
a

Yipee!

Emerging from the MRT station.

Above ground once again. We landed right smack in the middle of Chatuchak.

The Sky Train can take you to Chatuchak as well, and it's actually shorter with ten stops from Chong Nonsi station compared to MRT's 13 stops from Silom station (these are the two nearest stations from our place, and the shuttle can take you there for free). But, if I were to choose, I'd take the MRT even if it's longer because it lands right at the heart of the weekend market. With the Sky Train, you need to walk a bit more to get to the market itself.

What I love about Bangkok is their efficient transportation system. I'm ashamed to say that I don't ride the MRT back home, but here in Bangkok, I ride the train most of the time especially during my lunch time lakwatsa when the hubby's at work and the daughter is in school. It's clean and safe...hindi sya nakakatakot. And you won't get lost because they provide you with maps that indicate certain attractions that you will find along their route. I got myself a copy so I can explore the city more. Sawa na ko with the places that I usually go to with the Sky Train, I can't wait to discover new places with the MRT :)
