The maths: when does it pay off?

Take the typical pass day with three entries: Grand Palace + SkyWalk (day rate) + Museum Siam = 500 + 1,000 + 100 = 1,600 baht in separate tickets. The pass is worth it if its price for those three entries is below that total. With only the Grand Palace and Wat Pho (800 baht), it is very likely a loser: a pass costing more than 800 baht does not pay off. The SkyWalk is the site that tips the balance, because it is by far the most expensive.

Simple rule: add up the entries you will really visit, remove the free ones and those at 100 baht, and compare the total with the pass price, in baht, on the booking date.

What the Bangkok City Day Pass does

According to reseller descriptions of this pass (TAGTHAi, which GetYourGuide sells):

  • you choose a number of entries from a list (for example the Grand Palace, the SkyWalk, Museum Siam, the Chao Phraya tourist boat) and some perks (SIM, luggage storage, discounts);
  • the pass is activated on the first site visit, then shown with a code on your phone;
  • it is valid for 365 days before activation and 24 hours after, according to one of the descriptions;
  • no guide or transport, except the boat or tuk-tuk you may choose;
  • bookings are non-refundable according to one reseller, and the Grand Palace ticket is sent within 24 hours before the booking date.

These points vary by reseller: read the terms on the listing before paying.

Pitfalls

  • 24 hours after activation: if you visit three sites over two days, the pass runs out.
  • Opening hours: the Grand Palace closes at 4:30 pm (tickets until 3:30 pm): with a pass, arrive early. See the hours on the page.
  • Dress code: shoulders and knees covered in temples, pass or not; see dress for temples.
  • The SkyWalk depends on weather and on closures during some periods: confirm its availability.
  • Free entries: many activities cost nothing; see our free things to do and free museums.

Frequently asked questions

Is there an official city pass? No, passes are sold by private companies, with a list of entries that changes.

Does the pass include transport (BTS, MRT)? Not according to the descriptions we read, apart from a boat or tuk-tuk of your choice. See BTS or MRT.

Can I get a refund? One reseller says no. Check the terms on the listing.

Do I need to book in advance? For the SkyWalk at sunset, yes in high season; see the site's page.

Is a pass useful with children? Rarely: many sites have a reduced or free child rate, which the pass does not always reflect.
