Bangkok Skytrain 2026
Every station. Every line. Popular destinations, practical tips, and how to never get confused about which direction to go.
The most important thing to know
Siam station is the centre of everything. The Sukhumvit Line and Silom Line intersect here. If you get confused, go to Siam and start again. You can change between lines at Siam without paying a second fare.
Runs north-south through the main expat corridor -- Mo Chit, Ari, Victory Monument, Phaya Thai, Siam, Nana, Asok, Phrom Phong, Thong Lo, On Nut and south to Kheha. The line most expats use daily.
Runs from National Stadium west through the CBD -- Sala Daeng, Chong Nonsi, Saphan Taksin (river boats), then across the river to Bang Wa. Key for accessing the Chao Phraya and Silom business district.
Three stations only. Connects the Silom Line at Krung Thon Buri to ICONSIAM and the riverside. Uses a separate ticket -- not included in your BTS journey. Short, automated and very useful.
Every station has a code: a letter and a number. The letter tells you the direction from Siam (the centre):
The higher the number, the further from Siam. N8 is closer to Siam than N15.
Look at the platform signs -- they show the terminal station name, not the direction. For Sukhumvit northbound look for Khu Khot. Southbound look for Kheha. For Silom westbound look for Bang Wa, eastbound look for National Stadium.

The stations you'll use most, with practical advice from someone who has used them for 24 years.
Sukhumvit Line
Mo Chit (N8)
Bangkok's largest outdoor market. Go Saturday or Sunday, arrive before 10am before it gets overwhelmingly busy. Exit 1 or 3.
Both Lines Line
Siam (CEN)
The central shopping district. Siam Paragon is premium, MBK is budget electronics and copies. Change lines here without paying again.
Sukhumvit Line
Asok (E4)
Terminal 21 is themed by international city per floor -- cheap food court on 5th floor. Connect to MRT Sukhumvit via the walkway.
Sukhumvit Line
Phrom Phong (E5)
The most Japanese neighbourhood in Bangkok. Excellent supermarkets, Japanese restaurants, premium malls. Popular with professional expats.
Sukhumvit Line
Thong Lo (E6)
Bangkok's most fashionable neighbourhood. Excellent restaurants, rooftop bars, expat-facing services. Property here is premium.
Silom Line
Saphan Taksin (S6)
Take the river boat north to Wat Arun, Wat Pho, Khao San Road and the Grand Palace. The Central Pier (Sathorn) is directly below the station.
Gold Line Line
Charoen Nakhon (G2)
Bangkok's most impressive riverside mall. Take the Gold Line from Krung Thon Buri. Worth visiting just to see the floating market on the ground floor.
Silom Line
Sala Daeng (S2)
Silom is Bangkok's original CBD. Lumpini Park is a 5-minute walk -- the best green space in central Bangkok for morning runs.
Sukhumvit Line
Ha Yaek Lat Phrao (N9)
Change to MRT Blue Line here. Central Ladprao is a large, less tourist-facing mall popular with Bangkok residents.
Sukhumvit Line
Phaya Thai (N2)
Board the Airport Rail Link here for Suvarnabhumi Airport. Journey takes approximately 25 minutes. City Line fares from 15-45 THB.
Available at any BTS service counter for 200 THB (50 THB deposit, 50 THB initial credit). Saves time and earns minor discounts. Top up at any station machine.
The Sukhumvit and Silom lines intersect at Siam. If you're unsure which direction to go, head to Siam first -- you can change lines without paying again.
Sukhumvit Line runs North (towards Mo Chit and Khu Khot) and East (towards Bearing and Kheha) from Siam. Silom Line runs from National Stadium (west) to Bang Wa (southwest). Check the station code letter -- N, E, S, or W -- and count up or down from Siam.
7-9am and 5-8pm are extremely busy. Trains run approximately every 3-5 minutes during peak times. Stand behind the yellow line on the platform and board in order.
16 to 59 THB for a single journey depending on distance. The Rabbit Card fare is marginally cheaper than a single-journey token. Keep your card for exit -- the gates read both.
Last trains typically run around midnight. Check the BTS app or screens at the station for exact last departure times -- they vary slightly by station.
