  Most travellers will visit Thonburi as a day trip from Khao San Road, Sukhumvit or Silom. After nearly ten years of delays, the BTS Sky Train connection to Thonburi finally opened in May 2009. The best way to get into Thonburi is by getting off the Sky Train at Saphan Taksin station, on the Silom Line, and taking the Chao Phraya Express boat up the river. This trip is usually full of passengers as many use the river as a source of transport in Thailand. The BTS Sky Train Silom line is being extended westwards. As of 14th. February 2013 it is operational as far as Pho Nimit, Talat Phlu and Bang Wa Bus travel is sometimes necessary but with some complications to reach some destinations though, such as the Taling Chan Floating Market. If heading there, take standard non air conditioned ones or air-conditioned bus 79 from Ratchadamnoen Klang road, which is near Khao San Road. Make sure you take the bus in the right direction ( crossing the river) and ask local passengers when to get off if the conductor speaks English they will let you know if you ask them. Thonburi is a vast district, and getting around it is not easy. The area can hardly be explored on foot, as sights are spread far apart throughout the district, most of the main roads are heavily congested with commuters and the area is lacking foot bridges over its numerous canals. This is why most travellers take a canal tour.

  No toilet. Expensive cost. Low security. And can be the worst place at rush hour.
