Getting there and getting around

Ekkamai sits between Thong Lo and Phra Khanong on the Sukhumvit line. There is no interchange here, so you stay on the same line for both directions. Pick the exit that matches your route, since there are four to choose from.

Food and everyday needs

There are 67 places to eat within a short walk of the station, so you will not have far to look for a meal. There are also six convenience stores nearby, which is handy for water or a quick snack.

Ekkamai works well as a base for a day of short walks. Start at the temple, then head on to the museums at your own pace.
