Via the Wat Mangkon MRT station
Avoid taking a taxi. Traffic around Chinatown becomes extremely congested from about 4 pm onwards, and parking is virtually impossible. Therefore, the MRT Blue line is the most sensible way to get to and from Yaowarat. This is the station you should take, and from there it's less than a five-minute walk to the heart of Chinatown once you're back at street level.
The station's design speaks for itself: red, Chinese characters, and a flying dragon above the ticket machines. The station is clean, equipped with escalators and elevators, and the English signage is easy to understand, according to foreign visitors. There are several exits leading to different parts of the street network. Therefore, check the exit map on the platform before your journey; otherwise, you might find yourself facing the wrong direction and waste ten minutes walking down a one-way street lined with shops. Reviewers note that the escalators are very fast.

When you get off the train at this station, signs will indicate that you are near Chinatown. The MRT is one of the best ways to get to this bustling area. Expect heavy traffic, especially after 4 pm, and parking can be difficult to find. Therefore, it's recommended to take the Blue Line MRT station to Chinatown. The station is clean and has escalators and elevators. I particularly admire the MRT and BTS staff in Thailand for their helpfulness towards people with disabilities and the elderly, and for their courteousness to everyone. Please be patient, however, if they don't understand your language.
As soon as you step off the train here, you know you're about to arrive in Chinatown. The station itself is beautifully designed, with its red color, Chinese characters, and even a flying dragon above the ticket machines. From here, Chinatown is less than a 5-minute walk.
Like most metro stations in Bangkok, this one was very easy to access and leads directly to the edge of Chinatown. This temple was quite different from the others in the city and was an interesting experience. The strong and significant Chinese influence is clearly evident here.
