ThailandLover — Transit Guide
Welcome
BTS Skytrain
Welcome — your easy way to explore Bangkok above the traffic.
Skip the jams and hop on the elevated green lines into malls, food streets, and river piers. Gold, Yellow, and Pink sit on the same BTS-group map.
Train types
BTS train types
Five BTS-group systems share the map below — heavy-rail green lines, a riverside people-mover, and two monorails.
สายสุขุมวิท · Heavy rail
Khu Khot to Kheha — the long dark-green spine through Siam, Asok, and Phrom Phong. Same ticket as Silom at CEN.
สายสีลม · Heavy rail
National Stadium to Bang Wa — light-green cars toward Silom, Saphan Taksin (river boats), and the Gold Line at Krung Thon Buri.
สายสีทอง · People mover
Short automated hop from Krung Thon Buri to Charoen Nakhon (ICONSIAM). Flat second fare — not on a Green Line ticket.
สายสีเหลือง · Monorail
Driverless Lat Phrao–Samrong monorail. Meets Sukhumvit at Samrong; Rabbit works, but the fare is separate.
สายสีชมพู · Monorail
Nonthaburi Civic Center to Min Buri, plus the Muang Thong branch. Interchange with Sukhumvit at Wat Phra Sri Mahathat.

Highlights
Popular stations & nearby attractions
Hop off and explore. These stops sit next to Bangkok’s most useful visitor neighbourhoods.
CEN
Siam (CEN)
Shopping paradise — Siam Paragon, Siam Center, Siam Discovery, MBK, and CentralWorld.
Siam is the heart of the Green Line. Change here between Sukhumvit and Silom on the same ticket. Malls sit on both sides of the station; MBK and the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre are a short walk toward National Stadium (W1).
- Interchange: Silom and Sukhumvit (same paid area)
- Walk: 2–5 minutes to the main malls
- Crowded at weekends and late afternoon
E4
Asok (E4)
Terminal 21, Sukhumvit nightlife, and an easy indoor walk to MRT Blue (Sukhumvit).
Asok is the most useful east-Sukhumvit swap onto the underground Blue Line. Terminal 21 is attached to the station area; hotels and restaurants fill the soi on both sides of Sukhumvit Road.
- Interchange: MRT Blue at Sukhumvit
- Old Town temples: continue on MRT Blue toward Sanam Chai
N5
Ari (N5)
Trendy cafes, sweet treats, and a walkable neighbourhood with strong street food.
Ari is the easy “local evening” stop north of Siam. Most cafes and restaurants sit along Ari Soi 1–4, a few minutes on foot from the gates. Come for coffee, then stay for dinner.
S6
Saphan Taksin (S6)
Sathorn Pier for Chao Phraya boats, plus the hop toward Asiatique and the riverside.
This is the Green Line’s river door. Follow signs down to Sathorn Pier for the Chao Phraya Express Boat. One stop further west, Krung Thon Buri (S7) connects to the Gold Line for ICONSIAM — that hop is a second fare.
E5
Phrom Phong (E5)
EmQuartier, Emporium, and a short walk to Benjakitti Park.
Phrom Phong is the polished Sukhumvit stop: two malls linked by skywalk, and Benjakitti Park if you want trees after the air-con. Thong Lo (E6) is the next station if you prefer bars and smaller restaurants.
N3
Victory Monument (N3)
Famous local eats and a busy interchange for city buses.
The monument roundabout is a classic local-food zone (boat noodles, grilled chicken, fruit). It is also a long-distance van and bus hub — useful once, confusing in rush hour. Ride one stop south to Phaya Thai (N2) for the Airport Rail Link.
G2
Charoen Nakhon (G2)
Gold Line stop with a covered walkway into ICONSIAM.
Ride Silom to Krung Thon Buri (S7), walk to Gold Line G1, then one stop to Charoen Nakhon. Gold Line is a flat extra fare (about 17 THB) — it is not part of a Green Line single ticket. Rabbit Card works on both.
Heading to Wat Phra Kaew and the old city? BTS does not stop there. Change to MRT Blue at Asok (E4) or Sala Daeng (S2) and ride toward Sanam Chai.
