Via the BTS station Talat Phlu

The reason to get off here isn't the trains. It's the street food that springs up beneath the station after dark, transforming an ordinary Silom Line commuter station into a place where you could easily spend half an hour. After dark, you'll find vendors and an authentic local crowd, far removed from the tourist crowds.

As part of the transport infrastructure, it serves its purpose. It's the interchange point for the BRT network, and travelers moving around Thon Buri on the west side of the river frequently pass through. The catch is the pedestrian walkway between the two systems. It's uncovered, the surface is in poor condition, and if you're using a wheelchair or pushing a stroller, you should plan a completely different route. Reviews speak volumes about this. Trains also make long stops across the Chao Phraya River on this section, so allow plenty of time if you have anything to get anywhere.

    Another large BTS station. Talat Phlu is connected to the BRT system.

    A good place to enjoy street food.

    The walk from the BRT to the BTS was interesting, but the path looks quite run-down. It's also in dire need of repair. Good luck if you have a disability.
