Asiatique Ferry Service to Sathon Pier

4.4(988 reviews)

This complimentary ferry service connects Asiatique, Bangkok's large riverside shopping and entertainment complex, directly to Sathon Pier near Saphan Taksin BTS station. For visitors spending time at Asiatique, it provides a straightforward way to return to central Bangkok without navigating the city's notoriously congested roads. The route runs along the Chao Phraya River, and the crossing itself is relatively brief. In practice, the experience is functional rather than leisurely. Visitors report that the ferry can get very crowded, and the boarding area is not always easy to locate within the Asiatique complex. The pier is situated near a wine bar called Wine I Love You, and a sign marks the boarding point — worth noting before arrival. Despite the crowds and noise, reviewers consistently highlight the convenience and the fact that the service is free. Good to know: The ferry boarding area is not prominently signposted, so allow extra time to find it, particularly during busy evening hours when Asiatique draws large crowds. Arriving early at the pier is advisable to secure a spot, especially on weekends. Once at Sathon Pier, the adjacent Saphan Taksin BTS station makes onward travel to other parts of Bangkok straightforward. Those planning to use this service as part of a broader river exploration may also find hop-on hop-off river pass options worth considering.

Visitor Reviews

Very beautiful modern area. There was a free shuttle from Sathorn Pier near the Saphan Taksin MRT station.

The Ferry Service to this Pier is great you can take an HOP on Off pack and visit various places. This Peir in particular was awesome with Shops and Ride for all age groups. A bit Disappointed with the Giant wheel as the View was not great due to the tainted glasses and The speed was also very slow. Its also a bit expensive at 600 bhat for 10 mins boring ride. Even other attractions are not worth the money

Very loud and crowded and not very clean However, free and convenient You can get on the ferry right in front of the wine I love you place, and I’ve posted the sign that marks it here

Tips for Visiting Transportation

Take the Sleeper Train at Least Once

The Bangkok-to-Chiang Mai overnight train in a second-class sleeper berth is a bucket-list experience. Book at least a week ahead via 12Go.asia or at Hua Lamphong station. Upper berths are cheaper and have more headroom; lower berths have a window.

Use Grab Everywhere

Grab is the Uber of Southeast Asia and works across Thailand for cars, motorbike taxis, and even tuk-tuks in some cities. It eliminates haggling and provides fare estimates upfront. Load a Thai SIM or use eSIM to stay connected.

Rent Scooters Carefully

Always photograph the scooter's existing damage before riding off, and keep your passport — give a photocopy instead (some shops insist on the original; avoid these). Wear a helmet; police fine 500 THB for no helmet and accidents without one void insurance.
