Via the Sukhumvit MRT station
Sukhumvit MRT station is located on the blue line of the MRT in the Watthana district of Bangkok and is one of the most strategically located stations in the network. Its direct connection to the Terminal 21 shopping mall is particularly noteworthy, making it a convenient starting point for both commuters and visitors to the surrounding Sukhumvit district. The station also connects to the Asok BTS station, allowing passengers to transfer to the Skytrain. This significantly expands the range of destinations accessible without the need for taxis or tuk-tuks.
The station is a standard MRT station and, like much of Bangkok's subway system, is generally clean and tidy. Trains can be crowded during the morning and evening rush hours, so traveling outside these times is more pleasant.
Visitors should be aware that some ticket machines have reportedly been unreliable. Certain machines have problems processing payments or dispensing tokens. It is advisable to carry small Thai Baht notes or a public transport prepaid card rather than relying on card payments at the machines. While station staff are present, they may have limited assistance with ticketing issues during peak hours. Passengers transferring between the MRT and BTS stations should allow extra time, as the walk between the two stations takes approximately ten minutes.

Bangkok's subway is impressively clean, efficient, and pleasant to use. The atmosphere is orderly, and passengers generally behave very considerately, making the journey smooth and comfortable overall. The only downside is the queues for buying or collecting tickets, which can be lengthy during rush hour. Overall, it's a reliable and well-organized urban transportation system.
I'm sure that every day many stories are created that, if untold, fade into oblivion. This must be what our daily life here at the train station looks like. Whether it triggers a metal detector or not is actually irrelevant to me; I simply enjoy the poetic sight.
Half the ticket machines don't work. Only one accepts express payment, and that one's broken. You can't use your ticket at half the turnstiles. Visa and Mastercard don't work at all. The queue at the station is way too long. This is the worst public transport system in all of Bangkok.
