Saint Louis BTS Station
This one exists because Sathorn needed it. Squeezed onto the Silom line between Chong Nonsi and Surasak, it opened in 2021 and shaved a long walk off the daily grind for everyone working in the CBD. Journey time to Siam, the big central interchange, is around eight minutes, which makes it a genuinely handy base if you're staying in this part of Bang Rak.
What I like about it is what's at the bottom of the stairs. Sathorn Soi 10, 11 and 12 are all within an easy walk, and that's where the restaurants and coffee shops are, plus gyms and hospitals nearby if you need either. There's a covered connection into AIA Tower and a decent-sized convenience store at concourse level, which is more useful than it sounds when you're waiting out a downpour. Escalators between levels take the sting out of the climb.

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.

Every trip to Phi Phi starts and ends here, so plan around the boats rather than hoping for the best.
