Fair question.  The name of the operation is Bangkok Mass Transit System, with the acronym BTS (leaving out 'mass').  The operating company is the BTSC : Bangkok Mass Transit System Public Company Limited.  Their Web site can be seen at:

(If you need more information, their address, telephone number, e-mail contacts and so forth are easily visible via Google...)

The SAT Apr 6th Wall street journal has a picture of the Bangkok, Thailand's Skytrain on page B1 --  article is on page B5.  I do not have access to tWSJ on line pub so anyone that can access it and transfer the picture would be appreciated.  Will post it on this posting.if you can show the picture.
