The Grand Palace/Old City (Phra Nakhon) area is served by MRT Sanam Chai station (Blue Line) and Chao Phraya Express Boat piers.
As of June 1, 2026, Bangkok's MRT (Blue and Purple Lines, extending to Yellow/Pink) fully switched to EMV open-loop contactless payment: any foreign Visa,
Mastercard, or UnionPay contactless bank card taps directly at the turnstile.
The separate BTS Skytrain network still requires a Rabbit Card (contactless bank cards do NOT work on BTS turnstiles).
River boats are primarily cash-paid, though the Rabbit Card is now accepted on some Express Boat lines.
