What You'll Learn
Take the BTS Skytrain to Sathorn Pier
To get to Wat Pho by boat, you can take the BTS Skytrain to Sathorn Pier. Here's how to do it:
Take the Green Line BTS (National Stadium – Bang Wa) and get off at Saphan Taksin Station (S6). Take Exit 2 and walk to the left to reach Sathorn Pier. From there, you can buy a boat ticket to Wat Arun (look for the orange flag boat) for 15 baht.
Once you arrive at Wat Arun, you can buy a ferry ticket to cross over to Wat Pho for just 4 baht. The ferry ride is short, and you'll disembark at Tha Tien Pier, which is less than 20 metres from the entrance of Wat Pho.
Alternatively, if you're coming from Khao San Road, you can walk to the river jetty at Pha Athit. From there, catch the Chao Praya Express Boat to Tha Thien Pier, and Wat Pho is just a short walk from there.
It's worth noting that there is no BTS or MRT station close enough to Khao San Road or Wat Pho to make this a practical option for this particular trip. However, the Sanam Chai MRT Station (blue MRT line) is the closest MRT station to Tha Tien Pier and Wat Pho if you prefer to take the subway.
