Travel in Bangkok

Bangkok Train Station is the final stop for Bangkok’s underground train line, known as the MRT. There is an entrance to Hua Lamphong MRT station by the side entrance to the main station building near to the official taxi rank for the station. The MRT runs through the city northwards via Bang Sue Train Station. You can also connect from the MRT to the BTS (skytrain network) at Silom, Asok and Mo Chit MRT Stations, and join the Airport Link to Suvarnabhumi Airport at Petchaburi MRT Station.

For destinations not connected to the MRT and BTS mass transit networks you have four alternative options:

• Bus: Bus services depart from bus stops outside Bangkok Train Station with services to most parts of the city. However, we advise against using the bus services unless you are on a very tight and have lots of time as Bangkok buses move very slowly.
• Tuk-Tuk: Unfortunately the tuk-tuks waiting outside Bangkok Train Station are generally poor value for money. Only use them for very short trips into nearby areas in China Town, for which you should pay around 60 THB although you may be asked for a lot more. Agree a price before you set off.
• Meter Taxi: If you get a meter taxi from the official taxi rank in front of the side entrance to Hua Lamphong you will get to your destination In Bangkok a lot more cheaply than by taking a tuk-tuk. Meter taxi are a good option if your are travelling from Bangkok Train Station to the Khao San Road on a hot day with heavy baggage, and especially if you have young children.
• Riverboat: For those people who can walk 1.2 km from Bangkok Train Station to the nearest Chao Phraya Express Boat Pier (Marine Department Pier No. 4) they have option of travelling very cheaply by boat to other parts of the city. Chao Phraya Express Boat services depart frequently in daylight hours and travelling to piers situation along the banks of the river which runs through the centre Of Bangkok. For most journeys tickets cost only 15 to 20 THB per person, tickets purchased on the boat. All Chao Phraya Express Boat services stop at Phra Arthit Pier (Pier No. 13) which is walking distance from the Khao San Road, making the Chao Phraya Express Boat the cheapest way to travel from Bangkok Station to the Khao San Road except of course for walking.
