Phra Athit Pier
ท่าเรือพระอาทิตย์
The river door to Khao San and Banglamphu — step off the express boat into the café row on Phra Athit Road.
The river door to Banglamphu — step off the express boat into the café-and-bar row of Phra Athit Road, five minutes from Khao San but a different world. The fort park at its end does sunset properly.

Using it
- Rail and boat services run to headways rather than published minute-by-minute timetables; the atlas quotes typical times, never a schedule.
- Stored-value cards work within a single operator, not across all of them.
Check fares, first and last service, and ticket types when you arrive — we have no verified official site for this one.
