Wutthakat BTS Station
Most people only end up here because they're sleeping nearby, and that's exactly the point. This is a Silom Line station in Talat Phlu on the Thonburi side of the river, ringed by condos and apartment blocks, and it's one of the calmer stops on the whole line. Clean, spacious, hardly any queue at the gates. Staff have time to actually answer a question, which says something about how few people pass through.
The exits catch first-timers out. The one facing the Bang Wa side has a single exit and drops you in front of a 7-Eleven, so if your building is across the road you'll be crossing on foot. Worth knowing before you're standing there with luggage.
On cost, standard BTS fares beat a taxi if you're travelling alone or as a pair. Three or more and a Grab usually works out better value into the centre, especially with bags.

one stop from Bang Wa which will be an MRT interchange station when the MRT Blue Line extension opens
Classic BTS station with not many people around. Place is clean and tidy, you can take this BTS to many places and near to accommodation. Price is cheaper than taking the cab, but if you have more than 3 people, taking a grab will be more value for money. The people here enjoys the cooling Aircon inside the metro

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.
