Wang Lang Pier

The busiest Thonburi-side node — ferries shuttling to Siriraj, Wang Lang Market's food gauntlet and Thammasat across the water.
The busiest node on the Thonburi bank — ferries to Siriraj hospital, Thammasat, and the market whose food gauntlet is reason enough to cross. If you ride one cross-river ferry in Bangkok, make it this one at lunch.

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.
