Map of Bangkok

Below you can find a useful map of Bangkok, a gigantic metropolis that you probably can`t navigate without a good map to help you get oriented.

Bangkok, Thailand is known in Thai as Krung Thep Maha Nakhon, or just Krun Thep for short. Krun Thep means "City of Angels". It`s the capital and by far the largest city in Thailand with a city population of 12 million - and more than 14.5 million if we count the metropolitan area.

When you think of Southeast Asia, you probably think of poverty and third world conditions. And you most definitely still see pockets of that in Bangkok. But it is a city that has developed tremendously over recent decades and is a highly developed and modernizing city.

Bangkok has a tropical climate with two seasons: wet and dry. The rainy season lasts from May to October, and the dry season lasts from November through April. High temperatures are over 30 degrees throughout the year, with average lows over 20 throughout the year. Though during the wet season, cloud cover often provides temporary relief from the pounding heat of the sun. So the dry season can feel much hotter even though there is little difference in air temperature.




Did you get a good map of Bangkok above? Hopefully you`ll find them helpful in getting acquainted with the capital city in the LOS (Land of Smiles).

Tokyo Subway Map

Down below you can find a useful Tokyo Metro map and Tokyo subway map.

The Tokyo subway system is a vast, labrynth-like system that will shock and stun any newcomer on first glance of the line and station map. It is the busiest subway system in the world with 8.66 million passengers riding daily. You may have seen footage on tv of station attendants pushing commuters into packed trains in order to allow the doors to close, during peak hours - particularly the last train of the night.

The Tokyo subway system consists of the Tokyo Metro - a system jointly owned by the Japanese government and the Tokyo Metropolitan government, as well as the Toei System which is owned by the Tokyo Metropolitan government alone. Passengers can transfer between the two systems using pre-paid commuter passes, but those paying cash will have to buy separate tickets for each system. The Metro system features 9 subway lines, featuring 168 stations. It has a daily ridership of 6.33 million. The Toei system consists of 4 lines featuring 106 stations. It has a daily ridership of 2.33 million.

This first one is a Tokyo subway map that includes not only the subway but also the JR Yamanote Line which loops around the city center. This map is useful because the Yamanote line intersects with the subway lines at many stations, and many people transfer between the two systems.



This next one is just a simple Tokyo subway map without the other above-ground trains. If you will only be riding the subway, or your commuter pass is only good for the underground subway lines, then this map will be useful for you.



This last map is a Tokyo Metro map showing the distinction of the Metro System and the Toei System (which is shown in the faded color lines in the background). Functually, they are often referred to together as the "Tokyo Metro" but technically they are separate systems and use a different ticketing system.
