Huai Khwang MRT Station

4.5(151 reviews)

Huai Khwang MRT Station sits on the MRT Blue Line along Thanon Ratchadaphisek in the Din Daeng district of Bangkok, providing a reliable and cost-effective alternative to taxis for navigating the city. The station connects passengers to the broader Bangkok transit network, making it a practical interchange point for those travelling through this part of the city.

The station is kept clean and is generally manageable outside of peak commuting hours. Passengers can pay for travel using cash, card, or mobile payment apps. Inside and around the station, a small number of vendors operate, including stalls selling clothing and a vending machine dispensing coffee that draws regular interest from commuters. A public toilet is available on the premises.

A practical note for visitors: the public toilet requires a 5-baht coin to dispense tissue paper, so it is worth keeping small change on hand. For those arriving during morning or evening rush hours, expect higher passenger volumes; outside these periods the station moves at a quieter pace. The station is a straightforward and affordable option for reaching the Huai Khwang neighbourhood and connecting onward across Bangkok.

Reviews from Google

Great MRT Station with public toilet. Not too busy outside of rushours. Has vending machine for coffee whicht seems to be popular as I observed. Some vending-stalls. One for ladies wear and undies etc. Might be a good deal. Friendly and helpful employees of MRT.

A subways station that is less expensive than a taxi.

They also have a public toilet but they don't have a free tissue paper. You have to drop the 5 coin in the machine for get the tissue.

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.
