Bangkok Bike Share

Bike sharing in some form or another is now available in over 500 cities in 50 countries around the world. And recently Bangkok also got in on the act with their own bike share scheme – Pun Pun Bike Share. There are currently 50 bike stations, with plans to build more. The current stations cover the central area of Bangkok, mostly around Sukhumvit and Silom.

The bike stations are open from 7 am to 8 pm. Overnight borrowing isn’t allowed, so bikes not returned by 8 pm will incur a 500 baht ($17) fine. Lost bikes will be charged at 8,000 baht ($270).

To apply for a Pun Pun card, you’ll need to take your passport to one of the following manned bike stations. They’ll take your photo and issue you with a card and PIN number, and also show you how to lock and unlock the bikes.
