nearest is the underground station Hualumphong. once u reach ground level its outside the BKK railway station. from there to Yaowarat the cab fare is about 35-40THB depending on location.

You are right man...I even had problem trying to cross from Texas Seafood to the other side of the road..the heavy traffic seems endless.

From Twin Tower Hotel, it was once took me more than half an hour to reach there..thanked to the bloody traffic...decided to walk on the way back to the hotel...took almost the same time...

Near many good MPs along Ratchada - Mirage, Nataree. But I find the rooms not to my liking. Too much gray... If must stay there, ask for a room on the upper floors facing the road (opposite is Emerald Hotel).

Siam Beverly would be a better choice as cheaper, if you do not mind walking a bit more to get to the MPs. The nearest one to it is Caesars.

It's a ocean of choice there. Why stick to only one? The danger is you'll get `hooked' on the gal who may turn out to be a shark

Heard from my friend that the new underground line breakdown frequently and always delay.....she ever got stuck inside for 1 hour, but such incidents were never reported in the local papers.
