Destination Stop: Get off at the Bang Lamphu (บางลำพู) or Khao San Road stop.
Cost: The fare is approximately ฿60 (Thai Baht) per person.
Duration: The journey takes around 30-40 minutes, depending on traffic conditions.
Operating Hours: The bus typically runs from approximately 6:00 AM to 8:00 PM daily, with departures every 20-30 minutes.
Final Steps to the Hostel
From the Bang Lamphu or Khao San Road bus stop, the Mad Monkey Hostel is a short distance away. You can:
Walk: It is a few hundred meters walk to the hostel.
Take a Taxi/Tuk-tuk: For a very short ride, you can grab a local taxi or tuk-tuk.
Alternative Options
Taxi/Grab: For the most convenient, door-to-door service, an airport taxi or a ride via the Grab app (Thailand's version of Uber) is the fastest option (approx. 30 minutes, ฿280–340 plus toll fees).
Airport Rail Link + Taxi: Take the Airport Rail Link train from the airport to Phaya Thai station (฿45) and then a taxi or a Grab/Bolt to the hostel. This can avoid some traffic but involves transfers.
