How to navigate Bangkok old town

Start from a pier, MRT or BTS stop. Follow the photos down the soi - look for the street food cart or the shrine shown in the picture. In Chinatown, the gold shops are the landmarks; the photos show exactly which alley to take.

From BKK Suvarnabhumi: Airport Rail Link to Phaya Thai (~30 min) then BTS, or taxi (~40 min). From DMK Don Mueang: SR Red Line to Bang Sue, or taxi. Save an imhere route from the station or taxi drop-off for the final walk into the sois.
