Location is ideal for access to Bobae...
Location is ideal for access to Bobae market, and it is very central for access to many other areas. Major Hint: Try the canal boat(8 baht), just past entrance to Bobae Tower. Take boat left from pier, 2nd stop, and then 100 yards walk away from canal, to stairs to National Stadium which is Skytrain terminal. Also, walk across terminal to MBK Center, major shopping/entertainment/eating complex. You can go heaps of places on skytrain.
Also, take canal boat heading right from pier to go to Khaosan Road. Off at first stop, cross bridge following 10 or 12 lane road, walk 200 meters to monument roundabout, cross at lights, go around roundabout past McDonalds, walk about another 200 meters, to first intersection, turn right, first road to your left is Khaosan Road.
Canal Boat is a good ride in itself, just wait on pier for boat going your way, think it goes to about 9pm.
