Visitor Reviews
This MRT has a metro mall, cafe, and a place to sit also it provides a hub for legalization services (Ministry of External Affairs) and a Thai passport office with few people knowing about it so I recommend going there if you want to do passport things.
There is a Passport Office beneath the ground level. This station also has Lawson108 convenient store, Amazon coffee shop and public toilets.
Khlong Toey MRT Station is one of those stops that gets the job done—nothing fancy, nothing chaotic, just a straightforward gateway to Bangkok’s bustling Khlong Toey area 🚇🏙️. It’s mainly used by commuters and those heading to the nearby fresh market, government offices, or the industrial side of town. The station itself is clean, functional, and easy to navigate, making it a convenient stop if you know where you’re going. That said, don’t expect much in terms of shopping or entertainment right outside the station. Unlike some of Bangkok’s flashier MRT stops, Khlong Toey is all business—you won’t find mega-malls or trendy cafés right at the exit. But if you’re looking for an authentic slice of Bangkok life, the Khlong Toey Market is just a short distance away, offering some of the freshest (and sometimes most intense-smelling) local produce and seafood 🦐🥩. Overall, Khlong Toey MRT Station is a no-nonsense transit point—efficient, practical, and a gateway to one of the city’s more old-school, working-class neighborhoods. Not a tourist hotspot, but definitely a glimpse into the real Bangkok!
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.
