Via the BTS station Ekkamai
Ekkamai BTS Station is located on the Sukhumvit Line in the Phra Khanong area of Bangkok's Khlong Toei district and serves as a convenient interchange for travelers transferring between the city's rail network and long-distance bus services. Its proximity to the Ekkamai Bus Terminal, just steps from the station exit, is a particular advantage. This makes the station an important starting point for journeys to destinations southeast of Bangkok, including Pattaya, Rayong, and Chonburi.
The station itself is clean and well-maintained, in keeping with the overall standard of Bangkok's BTS network, which operates air-conditioned trains on a reliable schedule. Signage is clear, making it easy for first-time visitors to find their way around. For passengers transferring to connecting trains, there is a small selection of cafes and shops in or near the station. The adjacent Gateway Ekkamai shopping mall offers additional convenience for travelers with a little more time.
Travelers wishing to use Ekkamai Bus Station should be aware that several bus companies operate from there, each with its own timetables and ticketing systems. On weekends and holidays, when demand is higher, it is advisable to check departure times and purchase tickets in advance. The BTS (Buoyancy Tramway) runs daily from approximately 6:00 AM until midnight. Therefore, for early bus departures, it may be necessary to use alternative transportation to reach the station.

The BTS in Bangkok is simply fantastic! 🛤️ The trains are clean, punctual, and air-conditioned – perfect for escaping the heat. The stations are well signposted, and it's super easy to find your way around, even if it's your first time in Bangkok. I especially loved that some trains were decorated for Halloween – it created a really cool atmosphere and shows a lot of attention to detail! 🎃👻 Overall, it's a super convenient, affordable, and comfortable way to get around the city. Highly recommended! 🚆💛
Excellent train station with easy access to Ekkamai bus station, from where buses depart for other cities. Another bus station in Bangkok. The BTS system is fantastic, and the Thai people are fantastic too. I love Thailand ❤️🙏 Very friendly, calm, and lovely people.
I like this bus station because it's not too big, which makes our move quite efficient. The station is located right next to the Gateway Mall.
