Frequently asked questions
Where do I board the bus?
You can board at any of the 16 designated stops along the Red Route. The main reference point is Siam Paragon on Rama I Road, but there's no obligation to start there.
When does my pass start — from midnight or from when I first board?
Your pass is valid from the moment you first hop on the bus, not from midnight on the date you choose. A 24-hour pass, for example, gives you 24 hours from that first boarding.
Do I need to print my ticket?
No. Your mobile ticket is accepted directly from your phone screen — just have it ready when you board.
Is the tour suitable for young children?
Children under 6 travel free of charge, though they are not entitled to a dedicated seat. Older children require a standard ticket.
How often do buses run, and what are the operating hours?
Departure times and frequency can vary by day. Check the City Sightseeing Bangkok official website for current schedules and daily operating hours before you travel.
Can I get off and reboard as many times as I like?
Yes — your ticket gives you unlimited hop-on hop-off rides across all 16 stops for the full duration of your chosen pass (24, 48 or 72 hours).
