Dear all,

What is the best ( quickest ) way to travel from Silom/Saladaeng to Sirirat Hospital ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siriraj_Hospital ) by using public transport ( NO taxi ) ?

Thanks

BTS to Saphan Taksin and then a ferry if my memory serves is about a 20 minute journey down stream. Many boats every hour; just turn up, buy a ticket and away you go

My mistake - must have been facing backwards

If before 7:20pm, take the boat as suggested by above posters.

If between 7:20 and 8:30, and it's a weekday then you could take the BTS to national stadium and take the canal boat. At the last stop, grab the 511 bus, at Pata take a 146 or 149 to Sirirat.

If after 8:30pm then take BTS to Wongwianyai, walk across Wongwianyai and take 149 bus or the very regular songtaew to sirirat.

If BTS is closed, then walk up Wireless road and catch 511 bus on sukhumwit.

If post 3am you are trapped with no hope and must wait for the first chao praya boats at about 6 am.

The quickest way is take BTS from Silom (S2) to Saphan Taksin (S6) http://www.bts.co.th/customer/en/images/master_routemap_nov2010_ok.jpg , then take the boat from Saphan Taksin to Wang Lang (Siriraj) http://www.transitbangkok.com/images/BTS_MRT_Chao_Phraya_Express_Khlong.png'>http://www.transitbangkok.com/images/BTS_MRT_Chao_Phraya_Express_Khlong.png
