Via the BTS station Saphan Khwai

This is a commuter station, not a destination, and that's exactly what I like about it. Saphan Khwai is located on the BTS Sukhumvit line in the Phaya Thai district of northern Bangkok, far above the part of the city most visitors ever see. If your hotel or apartment is up here, this station is your lifeline. If not, you'll probably just be passing through.

From the platform, you can take a direct train to Siam, Asok, and On Nut. After changing trains, you'll reach the Silom Line. The street itself is a quintessential Bangkok experience, with local markets, street food stalls, and the shops that keep the neighborhood vibrant – far removed from the tourist traps. It's well worth a stroll if you have an hour to spare and want to experience city life away from the shopping malls.
