BKKGuide : From Don Mueang Airport to Mo Chit and Silom

Here is a guide for those of you who are new to Bangkok!! So BangkokVirgins.. pay attention!!

How to get to Silom / Mo Chit from Don Mueang Airport.

While some would prefer a taxi which is much easier, nevertheless, you must wait in a loooong line first.

Taking a bus is much more cheaper, faster, and it is easy too.

here's how.

Step one :

Exit through the no 6 door at the Don Mueang Airport

That is the place where you can wait for your bus, don't worry, it won't be long..

the ticket is 30 bht.

your bus is here ( it's the A1 Bus)

let's go!!

around 20 minutes (more or less) the bus will stop at Mo Chit. Again, don't worry, the conductor will inform you that you have arrived at Mo Chit.

now there are two options here :

you can either take the MRT (Chaktuchak Station) or the BTS (Mo Chit Station)

MRT Chaktuchak station will take you directly to Silom (stop at Silom station), the price is 42 baht, and the station is just in front of you when the bus stops.

however, on the minus side, it takes longer time to reach Silom, as there are many stops. And of course, there is a security check where you have to open your bags when you are about to enter inside the MRT station. 

For some ( like me) it would be such a hassle, especially if you carry a lot of' bags, or heavy ones.

Buy your ticket, and go to platform 1, which is to Hua Lamphong. And of course, get off when you've reached the Silom station, as easy as ABC..!!

Option 2.

BTS Mo Chit.

as the bus dropped you down, you need to walk a bit further from Chaktuchak MRT station to get to the Mo Chit BTS Station. And how far is it? Just a 1 minute walk from the Chaktuchak MRT Station... yeah, it's not that far!!

Once you're there, take the ticket to SALADENG, which is only 42 baht. ( don't have coins? then change it at the counter!)

 

Now, here is the tricky part that the BKK Virgins found it confusing.

You need to take the BTS and stop at the Siam Station, as the Mo Chit station will not take you directly to Saladeng.

When you arrived at the Siam Station, as you step out from the skytrain... just look in front of you. There's another skytrain coming on the opposite side. 

Yup, you don't need to trouble yourself looking for which station/ platform to go to Saladeng, because it is just in front of you. 

And if you still doubtful, the skytrain to Saladeng is on Platform 3.

take the skytrain, and less than five minutes, you have reached your destination, Silom..

and your adventure in Bangkok begins......

and ps: by taking the skytrain, you'll reach Silom in about 30 minutes. MRT, is about 40 minutes. So pick your choice!!!
