Wong Wian Yai Station in BAngkokI want to get to Wong Wian Yai station and do the trip on the trains that go through the market.
How do I get to that station from Nana BTS Station.
Thanks.

there are a few choices for this one:
Buses to Wong Wian Yai SRT station.
Take Bus 529 (normal white sign) to wong wien yai.
Board the bus under Ratchathewee BTS station in the southbound (MBK direction.
Tell the ticket lady "ROT FAI WONG WIEN YAI"
DO NOT take the 529 with any kind of yellow sign it is expressway service and doesn't stop there.
if 529 doesn't come or the wait is too long you can take Bus 542 but it will stop at wong wien yai traffic circle and you will need to walk around to the left and cross the road at wong wien yai.
Another choice is to take BUS 21 in front of MBK the same side of phaya thai road as chulalongkorn university. buses 529,542 and 21 all pass MBK before arriving at wong wien yai.
if peak hour allow upto 90 minutes for travel. if off peak allow 60 minutes. the traffic in china town area is very slow.
hope this helps
Note: none of the destination signs are in english but the route numbers are. also as long as the bus does not have a red or yellow sign at the front it will go to wong wien yai.
OR
These are the 2 bus services to wong wian yai from surasak BTS station.
Only route 173 is direct to the station. Exit to the southern side of the station and wait a the bus stop under the station. The traffic is likely to be jammed.
Route 149 also goes there but stops in Latya road infront of robinsons shopping centre and you have to walk around to the left for about 300 meters.
I would allow at least 45 mins to do this.
You could take a taxi from Surasak for between 45 and 60 baht. Allow 20 to 30 mins for this.

Thanks for that information.
You've given me loads of options.
Will allow plenty of time.
I suspect the last one is the one I'll go for. Its more straight forward for me. Let the driver do the walking so to speak.
