Via the Chit Lom BTS station
If you're planning a shopping trip in central Bangkok, this is the ideal stop. It's located on the Sukhumvit Line, right at the end of Ratchaprasong. CentralWorld, Central Chidlom, and Gaysorn Village are all easily accessible via the elevated pedestrian walkways leading from the platforms. This skywalk network is the real highlight. You can move between several large shopping malls without ever touching the pavement – a benefit you'll appreciate more than you might think during the April heat or a downpour in the rainy season.
Trains run regularly from early morning until around midnight, so travel time is rarely the problem. Overcrowding, however, is. During the morning and evening rush hours, the platforms are practically empty. If you have a suitcase or are traveling in a group of four, I recommend postponing your journey until midday or after 8 p.m. It's not dangerous, just slow and tiring.
For more than a few journeys, you should avoid the single ticket machines and instead buy a Rabbit Card with credit at the station. The queues at the machines are the biggest time-waster, and with the card, this is completely eliminated.

Get a Rabbit Card for Bangkok
The Rabbit Card is Bangkok's rechargeable travel pass for the BTS Skytrain and can also be used in supermarkets and some restaurants. It's available at any BTS station for 200 THB (100 THB deposit + 100 THB credit). This saves you from having to queue for single tickets.
