Via the Asiatique ferry service to Sathon Pier
Thanks to the free shuttle boat, you can visit Asiatique without worrying about the return trip. It runs between the complex and Sathon Pier, right next to the Saphan Taksin BTS station. This way, you completely avoid the traffic and instead enjoy a short ride along the Chao Phraya River. And best of all, it's free. That alone makes it the most sensible way to get in and out.
Don't romanticize it, though. This is a transport service, not a river cruise. Reviewers describe it as loud, crowded, and not particularly clean, and the dock at Asiatique is really hard to find. The landmark is the "Wine I Love You" bar, and the boat docks roughly in front of it. If you're looking for an authentic river experience, a hop-on-hop-off ticket is a better choice.
I would also recommend a visit to the Ferris wheel, as most visitors only use it after arriving. At 500 baht for an approximately fifteen-minute, leisurely ride behind tinted glass, some visitors felt they were being ripped off.

A very nice, modern area. There was a free shuttle bus from Sathorn Pier near the Saphan Taksin MRT station.
Very loud, crowded, and not particularly clean. However, it's free and convenient. You can board the ferry right in front of the "I love you" wine bar, and I've put up the corresponding sign here.
Great idea, but too many hidden flaws to truly enjoy it. 1. Extremely difficult to find. 2. Far too many people! 3. The food was plentiful, but cold. 4. The drinks were very expensive. I'm sure there are better cruise options!

Tips for visiting the transport sector
Always photograph any existing damage to the scooter before setting off and keep your passport safe – hand over a copy instead (some shops insist on the original; avoid these). Wear a helmet; the police will fine you 500 THB for not wearing one, and accidents without a helmet will result in the loss of your insurance coverage.
