I took the BTS Skytrain from Siam to Kheha on the Sukhumvit Line to visit the Ancient City, also known as the Ancient Siam. I set off during the morning rush hour so the train was quite crowded for the first few stations before things gradually got better as the train left the city centre.
The line was elevated throughout the journey, so I took the opportunity to enjoy the scenery. The train stopped at 22 stations on the way to Kheha. They are:
- Chit Lom, which serves the Erawan Shrine and the CentralWorld and Amarin Plaza shopping centres,
- Phloen Chit, which serves a number of foreign embassies on Wireless Road
- Nana, which serves Nana Plaza and a red light district,
- Asok, located next to the Sukhumvit Station of the MRT Blue Line and serves the Terminal 21 shopping centre,
- Phrom Phong, which serves the EmQuartier and the Emporium shopping centres,
- Thong Lo,
- Ekkamai, which serves the Science Centre for Education and the Bangkok Planetariun,
- Phra Khanong,
- On Nut,
- Bang Chak,
- Punnawithi,
- Udom Suk,
- Bang Na, which serves the Bangkok International Trade and Exhibition Centre,
- Bearing, which is the southernmost station on the line still within the Bangkok city limits,
- Samrong, just inside the Samut Prakan Province,
- Pu Chao,
- Chang Erawan, which serves the Erawan Museum,
- Royal Thai Naval Academy,
- Pak Nam,
- Srinargarindra,
- Phraek Sa
- Sai Luat
It cost 59 Baht to travel from Siam to Kheha as of June 2022. After arriving at Kheha, I left via Exit 3, where I could get on a taxi or Songthaew to the Ancient City. I decided to try out the Songthaew for 10 Baht and reached the entrance of the Ancient City within 10 minutes.
