Via the Sam Yan MRT station
The ticket machines are the most important thing. There are four of them, but one or two are often out of order. Using them requires clicking through a route map with the mouse, and the queues during rush hour are so long they can throw your entire travel plan into disarray. The solution is simple: use a prepaid card or tap your Visa card at the turnstile; these cards are accepted at this station. If you need cash beforehand, there are also ATMs on site.
Furthermore, it's a really useful stop on the Blue Line in Pathum Wan. Subway tunnels lead directly to Chamchuri Square and Samyan Mitrtown, allowing you to reach Chulalongkorn University and both shopping malls without having to brave the heat or rain. That alone makes the detour worthwhile. Upon exiting through the right-hand exit, you'll find yourself right in front of Hua Lamphong Temple. There's also a small park at the station with a view of the city skyline – a great way to pass the 20-minute wait for your connecting train.
The building is easily accessible. There are elevators and escalators throughout, separate entrances for wheelchair users, and staff on hand to assist if needed.

This station is wheelchair accessible and has elevators and escalators. It provides underground access to Chamchuri Square, from where you can reach Chulalongkorn University. Another entrance leads to the Samyan MRTtown shopping mall. Both malls open at 6:00 AM. As you exit Samyan MRT Station, you'll see the beautiful Hua Lamphong Temple. Samyan Station accepts VISA cards, so you don't need a ticket if you have one. There are numerous ATMs and ticket machines. The station has two levels with different platform numbers, so please check before your first journey.
Easily accessible MRT line with connection to a university and two shopping centers via a tunnel.
Four ticket machines (one or two of which are usually out of order). Huge queues at the ticket machines. The machines are ancient, and you have to navigate the route map with the mouse. They are rarely accurate. I wish the BMTA could do better, but I doubt it.
