Wondering what the easiest way is to get to the new immigration office in Laksi from the Petchaburi Rd. end of Thonglor/Ekamai.

Is there a bus that passes by this area?

Thanks

You can take bus 52 from Morchit BTS

right to the mouth of Chaeng Wattana 7.

Piece of cake.

thanks for that.. seems easy enough

And I read that there is a free shuttle bus during office hours from the beginning of Soi on Chaeng Wattana Road to the immigration office. That’s what I call a good service!

Don't believe the shuttle service has anything to do with Immigration however - just convenient that Immigration is in a building that has such service. It would be a long, hot walk from road to building.

I took the free shuttle bus today. It goes from a bus stop just inside Soi 7 (dual-carriageway 10 metre-wide soi...) from Chaeng Wattana all the way down to the end of the road, Building B, exactly the one you want, swings round and stops outside the East Door.

Enter the Great Hall of Bureaucracy and turn left as if heading for the South Door, and you will see some small signs pointing to Immigration.

To repeat the tip: Get your documentation in order before you arrive. You will then be waved straight through to the inner area where queue tickets are dished out and all the action takes place. If you don't have all your docs in a row, they won't give you a queue ticket.

On the way back, exit at the East Gate and a shuttle bus will pull up at some stage. It heads back to the main road with a couple of minor detours.

There were quite a few taxis lurking around as well. To the poster from Ekkamai/Thonglor, I did the journey back to Ekkamai for 193Bt plus 55Bt for the expressway, took 30 minutes with Jenson Jatuporn at the wheel.....

The number 52 is easy, but if you said it's very hot and very slow it would be an understatement. There are a couple of A/C buses from Victory Monument or a minvan from Mor Chit. The main 'immigration is moving' thread discussed at length several ways to get to the new office.
