Prices for storage of things (nothing, of course, is unclear, but the amount for one piece of luggage does not exceed 50 baht):

Pay, hand over your bags, get this receipt (we had a backpack and a small bag):

I do not recommend leaving valuables there, because. Not only are there no lockers, but there is usually no space in the security room, so some bags are simply left on the floor next to the pay counter. That is, there is not much security there.

There are also toilets nearby for 3 baht, hygiene items are sold separately (for example, there is no paper in the toilets):

5. Where to eat

As elsewhere in Thailand, the bus station is full of places where you can eat - from shops 7-11, ending with small chain cafes and food courts.

Each floor has its own food court (they are marked as Food Center on the signs), there are usually plenty of places, you can wait there for your flight, and at the same time have a bite to eat. True, all the names of the dishes are in Thai, but you can always just show what exactly you want.

So, from Chiang Mai I had to get to the airport in Bangkok. I traveled around Thailand exclusively by buses and this time I did not make any exceptions. Overnight in a comfortable double-decker bus with feeding and films with English subtitles.

And here I am. Mo Chit Bus Terminal. This station is huge. Serves the entire north and northeast of Tai (Chiengmai, Chiengrai, Ayutthaya, Sukhothai, Korat, Lopburi, etc.). So there are a lot of buses. Further, according to the plan, get to the subway station Mo Chit, and then to end point- BKK Suvarnabumi Airport. As I said, from the bus terminal to the airport, I planned to take the underground metro (I had never traveled on it before).

As soon as I jumped off the footboard of the bus, taxi drivers began to besiege me, offering to take me to the ends of the world. I say I need to get to the subway. Okay, sit down, we'll take you for 60 baht.
No, I'm on foot, how do I get there?
– You won't get there – the taxi drivers shook their heads sympathetically, looking askance at the baobab in the bag and the backpack behind my shoulders, which was slightly smaller than myself ...

The same backpack.

That baobab!

I saw the information desk. I go to ask how I can get to the station.
- Take a taxi or tuk-tuk, it costs 40 baht. You won't make it to the subway on your own, - and these were confused by the contrast between my size and my backpack. - It's 2 km from here!

Gee, 2 km and I won’t get there ?! Yes, my beloved Thais, you are not familiar with Russian girls who wear such backpacks and baobab trees. Somehow I knocked out the direction from the taxi drivers to the BTS Mo Chit station. I interviewed about 10 people, probably (the partisans are still the same).

So, I am sharing information on how to go as far as 2 km in 15 minutes. ROUTE MAP BELOW.

On bus terminal Mo Chit get off at the taxi and tuk-tuk stop. And to the left. Go along the road straight to the first intersection. You can wave to sympathetic tuk-tuk drivers. Turn right at the crossroads. In the distance you will see the building of the JJ MOLL shopping center. The building can be seen from afar, go straight for it.

Reach the first overhead crossing, cross it to the other side of the highway. Go straight to the first fork in the road and turn left.

From here to the left.

Keep to the right side of the road. Your path lies straight along picturesque rows with live aquarium fish that swim in bags. The spectacle is amazing: various types of fish, there are thousands of them!!! This street is adjacent to Bangkok's largest Chatuchak market.

Go straight until the first turn to the right. Then straight ahead until the first turn to the left. And in front of you is the skytrain station Mo Chit.

Everything is simple. And do not listen to any exhortations of taxi drivers that it is far and you will not reach. I've arrived. I'll tell you a secret, I just have the most acute form of topographic cretinism, I climbed Chiang Mai with a navigator. But language, as they say, is not only an enemy, but also your best friend. =)

Well, then -Just. Hand Mo Chit station you take the subway (BTS). Transfer to another branch at Phaya Thai station. From there, the metro goes to the airport (this is the red line on the map). All.

Good luck with your transitions and trips!
