Via the BTS station Samrong
Most people just pass through here instead of coming in, and that's perfectly fine. This is where the BTS Sukhumvit Line and the MRT Yellow Line intersect. The walk between the two stations only takes a few minutes, and the signage is so good that you can't get lost. If you're going to Lat Phrao, this is your transfer point. Keep in mind that you'll need to pay twice when transferring from the BTS to the MRT, so plan on buying two tickets.
This is a station with a short turnaround, making it quieter than the crowded stations further into the city. It's small and not particularly modern, but clean and well-maintained. Its accessibility features, including wheelchair ramps and elevators, are a major plus – more than most buildings in Samut Prakan offer. An elevated pedestrian walkway leads to the Imperial World shopping mall, and there's a market on the ground floor. This makes the station an ideal place to take a break and grab a bite to eat.

I find the station quite convenient, as it offers limited turning options and is connected to a large market and a large shopping mall. There's also a connection to Lat Phrao via the Yellow Line. (However, you have to pay twice when transferring from the BTS to the MRT.) The Yellow Line connects to Hua Mak (Eastern Rail SRT Line and Airport RailLink – though the connection is rather poor, as you either have to cross an eight-lane road or wait for an SRT train and miss it, adding 10-15 minutes to your wait). The facilities are excellent: two ticket machines (coins only) and two that accept bills, a ticket office, two elevators (one to the Metropolis side and the other to the Yellow Line), plenty of ticket gates (5) for rush hour, barrier-free access (including wheelchair access), and escalators so you don't have to go down the stairs. There are also areas with small tables to put your belongings (please don't sit down!). Overall, it's a rather nice train station, complete with platform screen doors. However, the timetable urgently needs an overhaul during peak hours, as I had to wait five minutes only to be crammed into a four-car train to Khu Khot. All things considered, though, it's alright.
One of the most important stations on the BTS Sukhumvit Line, with convenient access to the MRT Yellow Line. The adjacent MRT station is just a few minutes' walk away; the signage is clear and easy to follow.
The elevator is on the left...do not drive over the bridge...follow the small market street, the elevator is there.
