Via the Sanam Chai MRT station

If you live near the river and dread the taxi queues, this station is the solution. It's located on the blue MRT line and serves Bangkok's historic riverfront. This way, you avoid the road traffic and go directly to the old city instead of enduring a 40-minute taxi ride.

The MRT operates like the rest of the Blue Line: air-conditioned, with a straightforward ticketing system and platforms designed for high passenger volume. Single tickets are available from ticket machines on the platforms. Frequent MRT users can save time by purchasing an MRT prepaid card to avoid queuing. Important to note: This card is exclusively for the MRT and does not work on the BTS Skytrain, which uses a separate system.

First, I would plan my route on foot at the other end. The street network here isn't exactly intuitive, and the exits don't always lead where you'd expect. Therefore, I'd recommend marking your destination on a map before even getting to the escalator, rather than trying to figure it out once you're on the street.
