BTS Phra Khanong Station

Tracey Brown January 15, 2014 BTS - Sukhumvit

The BTS Phra Khanong station is a BTS skytrain station on the Sukhumvit Line in the Watthana and Khlong Toei District of Bangkok. The BTS skytrain station is located right on Sukhumvit Road to the west of Phra Khanong and Sukhumvit Soi 71 near the well known and busy Phra Khanong market.

This BTS station is between the BTS Ekkamai Station and the BTS On Nut Station. The closest station to the subway system would be the junction at the BTS Asok Station where it meets the MRT Asok Station. See the map below for more details about the location and what it has to offer.

The BTS Pra Khanong Station is more of a Thai residential area than real commercial area and has little to offer the tourist or expatriate by way of say sight-seeing or restaurants. It is however a good place to experience how middle-class Thailand lives.
