Visitor Reviews
the staffs at the station are always nice and super happy to help. Especially the security on 23/10 evening (~7.45pm), near Exit 3 & 4, he is very helpful with our questions and even salute us twice! We're flattered. he looks so professional!
In my personal opinion, I think this is a very good station and strategically located. The Sky Trains overall are excellent. My only hope is the Thai government expands it ASAP as it brings great health to the city.
I've lived near this BTS for the past 6 months. An exceptional station, always clean, friendly BTS employees, many services.
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.
