Cheonging BK via BTS and Subway

With the new Subway you can reach most of the MP if you alight at
Huai Khwang Station. Here's a little update.

Exit 2:
Merchant Court Hotel
Siam Beverly Hotel
Caesars Entertainment (MP)

Exit 3:
Hi-Class (MP)
Spago Club (Karaoke Club)
Emmanuelle (MP/Karaoke)
Nataree (MP)
Subway (MP)
The Emerald Hotel
Pallazo Hotel
Mirage Entertainment (MP/Karaoke)

Exit 4:
The Poseidon sign is visible from here, seems to be 400-500 m away.

For those who like to take a short walk (5-10 minutes), the Petchaburi station offers 3-4 massage parlors within walking distance. Mona Lisa, Plaza Entertainment, Harlem and Atami

Thanks for the info...

Btw, how fast from the BTS at MBK to Huai Khwang?

When we were at Bkk earlier this year and as the subway was not ready then, the taxi-driver brought us for a merry-go-round via the highway before we finally reached Rachada....

It always the case if they know you are new after striking some conversation with you.

The shortest time I've taken to reach Huay Kwang is about 20-25 mins...from MBK (National Stadium) to Siam Ctr (the transfer here sometimes got to wait a while), then to Asok Station, then take the stair down to Sukhumvit Station then to Huay Kwany (should be the 4th station).

However, in my opinion, if want to go to Poseidon or Copa, I think nearer is from Suthisarn Station, 1 station after Huay Kwang.

Rgds.

The Ratchathewi (N1) Station is linked with covered walkway to Asia Hotel.
I take from this station downwards direct to Asok Station (E4). (There is a interchange at Siam Chit Station near Siam Square.)

You must alight at Asok Station and went downstair to change to Sukhumvit Skytrain Line and the station to your destination are as follows:

7. Sukhumit
8. Petchaburi
9. Rama 9 (Phra Rama)
10. Thai Cultural Center
11 Huai Khuang ----------alight here for massage outlets (as per my list)
12 Suthisam ------------alight here if you want to go to Poseidon
(Note: the No. 7 to 12 are Sukhumvit Skytrain Line station no.)

From Asia Hotel to Asok Station is 8 min and the fare is 25 Baht.
The whole journey cost less than 70 baht (less than $3) and takes about
15 to 20 mins.

That's all for update now......................to continue.

Cannot follow, you lost in concrete jungles liao

I find the BTS and MRT system does not save much in terms of transportation in Bangkok. Generally, taking taxi is more convenient and the fares are not that expensive as compared to their train systems. But for those who wish to aventure Bangkok on their own. Their train systems could be good, very similar to Singapore's MRT. Most of their stations have easy access to shopping centres and places of attractions. Not easy to get lost.

gigantic_tk · #15 20-09-2004, 01:18 AM

In the early days, I used to call taxi no doubt is cheap compared to here but there are times that the destination is just behind a few buildings but taxi due to only one-way carriage way you are taken a long ride and could be very time consuming particularly office hours, jams almost everywhere, hot and stuffy. Get too convenient and addicted to taxi you will not border to locate where the actual location of your destination liao........and till this date still lost in this concrete jungle...it is me hehehe...now learn to go BTS + subway lor..
