Reviews from Google
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!
I've lived near this BTS for the past 6 months. An exceptional station, always clean, friendly BTS employees, many services.
I love Bangkok but Bangkok BTS is so not convenient at all. The lines are already bad and is so much of a hassle to buy a ticket. While most cities in the world allow you to enter subway with simply your credit card, in Bangkok you need to queu for a ticket and you can't even pay with card, you need cash.

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.

Take the 30-baht ferry, not the speedboat, unless you fancy paying for a tuk-tuk at the other end.
