◼️Directions
The nearest station is about a 15-minute walk from Exit 1 of Bang Pai MRT Station. It's about a 30-minute drive from central Bangkok.
It's a little far from the station, so if you want to get there efficiently, or if you don't want to walk during the hot weather, we recommend taking a taxi or taking a tour. 👌
