Visitor Reviews
I say the station is pretty convenient for being a short-turning station and that its connected to a big market and one big mall and that it has connection to Lat Phrao via Yellow Line. (Although you tap twice if you transfer from BTS to MRT) And that Yellow Line has a connection to Hua Mak (Eastern Rail SRT Line and Airport RailLink {but the connection is pretty darn terrible as you either cross a 8 lane road or wait while a incoming train is from the SRT Rail and you miss the train, causing you to wait an extra 10-15 mins for the next}). Facilites are amazing, 2 Coin only and 2 bill accepting ticket machines, ticket office, 2 lifts (one to metropolis side and the other being at the yellow line side), enough faregates (5) to handle rush hour and peak hour passenger flow, Level Boarding (aka wheelchair accessible), and escalators up and down so you don't run down the stairs, and you have areas with small tables to put your stuff down (DO NOT SIT). Overall its a pretty nice station with platform screen doors aswell. Unrelated but they have to fix their scheduling in rush hour since i waited 5 mins just to be cramped in a 4 car train to khu khot. Overall its ok
So surreal to see a modern BTS station in Samrong, it even has wheelchair ramps and elevators. I think its the only public building with planned wheelchair-access in Samut Prakarn. Has a great elevated walkway to the Imperial World mall.
One of the important stations on BTS Sukhumvit line, connecting to MRT Yellow line conveniently. It takes only a few minutes on foot to the adjoined MRT station with clear signage and direction.
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.
