From the stations there are several ways to get to the city centre, bus, metered taxi,tut tut n others. We took a taxi straight to Rambuttri Road Soi 1 near the world famous Khao San Road the travellers and backpackers community hub.Taxi cost 61 Thai Bhat to Khao San Rd. and most guesthouse are full so we checked in at Four Sons Inn GuestHouse for 550 Bhat a night on the ground floor room.Room clean but a little upscale for budget traveller.Best rate is 300 Thai Bhat a night for twin beds.
