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.
