Visitor Reviews

Good station with views of the garden next to it. Staff were very helpful and spoke English. They assisted one of our group in using a staff toilet during an emergency too! This is on the line that also guess to King Power Mahanakhon and Siam/MBK mall. Fares are cheap - about 20 Baht and the ticket counter is the best place to pay (the machines only seem to take coins).

I love the metro system in Bangkok. Definitely something that you don't see too often in the US. It was a bit hard to figure out how to get to the entrances and buy a metro card but after I figured it out it was a great and quick way of getting around the city.

One of the BTS skytrain station. It connects to Silom and Siam station.

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.
