From this station you need to go to the Sathorn pier of scheduled boats on the Chaopraya River (it's literally a couple of minutes on foot), and from there to Asiatica to sail on a free shuttle boat that runs from 16:00 to 23:30 every 25-30 minutes. If you do not want to wait for the boat, then you can go to the Thanon Charoeng Krung road, and there take the non-conditioned city bus No. 1 for just 8 baht (approximately 0.24 USD, see the currency of Thailand and its exchange rate).
- From the tourist Khao San Road district, from The Grand Royal Palace, Temple of the Dawn Wat Arun, Temple of the Reclining Buddha Wat Pho everything is even simpler: get on the pier on a regular boat under the orange flag towards the Sathorn pier, and sail it to The final pier is Wat Rat Singkhon, from where Asiatica is a 5-minute walk away.
