No — the BTS uses the Rabbit card and the MRT uses its own stored-value card. You need to pay separately when switching systems. A universal single transit card covering both does not yet exist in Bangkok, unlike in cities like London or Tokyo.
Yes — the Airport Rail Link runs from Suvarnabhumi to Phaya Thai BTS station in about 30 minutes. A separate ticket is required; standard BTS or MRT cards do not cover it. From Phaya Thai, transfer to the BTS Sukhumvit Line for onward travel.
