A Transport Question

[onebir]

just wondering (long story) how long this journey would take, and whether it'd be a nightmare in rush hour (or any other time)? i found both places on a map, but there's no obvious public transport links...

from what soi on ram do you want to go, best bet would be to get the boat to wireless rd.

takes about 30 minutes and costs about 16 baht

cancel the above, hangover this morning.

get the boat to pratunam, takes about 30 minutes and costs about 16 baht.

pratunam is the end of the line, so no need to worry about getting off at wrong stop.

get off the boat and turn left over the bridge, the world trade centre is on your rh side, a 2 minute walk.

what soi on ram do you live, you can get boat from wat tep lila, the mall ram 3 and various other ports of call.

thanks rgs! i don't live in bkk, but i'm thinking about moving & to do some things i'm interested in, i might need to get between those places every day. but i know that in asian cities, if two places are more than about 500m apart just getting from one to another can be a bit of a trial...

I do this journey often. The boat is, without doubt, the most reliable way to do it. Taxis may be quicker at certain times but traffic is so unpredictable. Taxis for this journey cost about 120 Baht.
