How to Get Around

By bus

Public buses are plentiful and cheap, with a minimum fare of 7 baht to most destinations within metropolitan Bangkok. Air-conditioned buses have minimum and maximum fares of 10 and 22 baht, respectively. Air-conditioned micro-buses charge a flat fare of 25 baht all routes. A Bus Route Map is available at bookshops and the TAT office.

Useful bus lines include the following:

• Red Bus No. 2 can bring people from Sanam Luang (very close to Khao San Road) to Sukhumvit Road. It's a good way to get from the Khao San Road area to connections with the Skytrain or MRT. It passes Pantip Plaza(computer hardware and software center) on the way.
• Air Con Bus 511 takes people from Sukhumvit and the Democracy Monument to the Southern Bus Terminal. If you want to go to Sukhumvit from Khao San Road, be sure to take the bus WITHOUT the yellow sign in front, as this will take you to Rangsit.
• Red Bus No. 15 will take you from Khao San Road to Siam Square.
