An elevated train service (Skytrain) is in operation since 1998. Its 23 stations serve mostly the Silom and the Sukkumvit areas, which are the major commercial zones. It can transport up to 50,000 persons per hour in one direction. A 3-day pass with unlimited trips will be included in the registration kit. The Skytrain operates from 6AM till 12PM. The 3 Hotels recommended for iCON2004, are 5 minutes walk from the Chongnonsi station on the Silom route.

A subway in under construction and will start running in time for the iCON. The opening is planned for late 2003. It will serves areas not covered by the Skytrain, reaching the more populated districts of Bangkok. Additional information and routes will be posted as soon as they are available.

Other areas of Bangkok are available by meter taxis. Very inexpensive in comparison to all other major cities of the world. The starting fare is 35 baht (+/- 0.75 cents). Based on time and distance, the fare rises as about 2 baht a kilometer. Some taxi queues exist around the city but a taxi can be flagged anywhere at any time. Available taxis have a red light in the windshield. The red light indicates that the meter is not running and they are available.

Avoid taxis that are standing idle at some entertainment places. They are preying on "tourists" not sure where their destination is. They will fix a flat rate, usually triple the fare. It is best to walk a few yards and flag a taxi with a "red windshield light".
