Located at the intersection of Rama IV Road and Wireless Road, right next to Lumphini Park, One Bangkok is easily accessible by public transportation.

Quick Answer: The easiest way to get to One Bangkok is by taking the MRT Blue Line to Lumphini Station, using Exit 1, and following the underground walkway directly into the development.

1. How to Get to One Bangkok by MRT

<escape>Nearest MRT Station: Lumphini (Exit 1)</escape>

Taking the MRT is our most recommended way to reach One Bangkok, especially if you’re visiting during rush hour or prefer to avoid Bangkok’s traffic.

Simply take the MRT Blue Line and get off at Lumphini Station. Follow the signs to Exit 1, where you’ll find an underground connection leading directly into One Bangkok’s B1 level.

From there, you can easily access the Parade and The Storeys shopping areas.

The biggest advantage is that you won’t need to walk outside in Bangkok’s heat or rain.

Coming from BTS? Here’s How to Transfer to the MRT

If you’re already travelling on the BTS Skytrain, you can transfer to the MRT at these stations:

BTS Sala Daeng: Transfer to MRT Si Lom Station, then travel one stop to Lumphini.
BTS Asok: Transfer to MRT Sukhumvit Station and take the Blue Line to Lumphini.

MRT fares depend on your starting station and the current fare schedule.

Local Tip: The underground connection to Parade’s B1 level generally operates during the shopping area’s opening hours, approximately 10:00 AM–10:00 PM. If you’re arriving earlier or later, check which entrances are available.

2. How to Get to One Bangkok from BTS Phloen Chit by Free Shuttle Bus

If you’re travelling on the BTS Sukhumvit Line, another convenient option is to take the free One Bangkok EV Shuttle Bus.

Get off at BTS Phloen Chit Station, Exit 2, and walk towards the bus stop near Mahatun Plaza.

You’ll find One Bangkok’s air-conditioned electric shuttle bus service there.

The shuttle is free, making it a convenient alternative if you don’t want to transfer from the BTS to the MRT.

Buses generally depart approximately every 15 minutes, with drop-off near The Storeys on the Wireless Road side of the development.

One Bangkok Shuttle Bus Operating Hours

Day	Operating Hours
Monday–Friday	7:00 AM–10:00 PM
Saturday, Sunday & Public Holidays	9:00 AM–11:00 PM

Operating hours and frequency may change. Heavy traffic around Wireless Road can also affect waiting times.

Local Tip: If you’re staying near Sukhumvit or Phloen Chit, this is an easy way to visit One Bangkok without paying for another train journey.

3. Getting to One Bangkok by Taxi or Grab

Travelling with family, young children, or elderly relatives? Taking a taxi or Grab can be one of the most comfortable ways to reach One Bangkok.

You can enter “One Bangkok” into your navigation app, but choosing the correct drop-off location makes a difference.

From our experience, if you’re planning to visit the Parade shopping area, ask your driver to drop you off near the Parade entrance on the Rama IV Road side.

This can save you from walking around the large development trying to find the right entrance.

If you’re heading to The Storeys, selecting a drop-off point on the Wireless Road side may be more convenient.

Watch Out for Traffic

Traffic can be particularly heavy along Rama IV Road and Wireless Road, especially during weekday evening rush hours.

We recommend allowing extra travel time.

If you’re travelling alone, a motorcycle taxi or GrabBike may also be an option. Just make sure to use a safe, designated drop-off point.

4. Driving to One Bangkok: Parking and Car Rental

If you prefer to drive, One Bangkok offers extensive underground parking facilities, including parking areas across several basement levels.

The development can be accessed from Rama IV Road and Wireless Road, with additional road connections depending on your approach.

Because One Bangkok is a large complex with several buildings and parking zones, we recommend remembering your parking level and zone before leaving your car.

Otherwise, you might spend more time than expected finding it later!

One Bangkok Parking Fees

The general parking rates are:

Parking Duration	Parking Fee
First 2 hours	Free
Hours 3–6	THB 30 per hour
Hour 7 onwards	THB 60 per hour

Additional complimentary parking may be available based on your spending at participating stores.

Spending Amount	Total Complimentary Parking
THB 500	4 hours
THB 2,000	6 hours
THB 5,000	8 hours

Parking fees, validation requirements, and promotions may change, so we recommend checking the latest information at the shopping centre before your visit.

Local Tip: If you’re planning to rent a car in Bangkok, One Bangkok is relatively convenient for parking compared with destinations that rely entirely on street parking. However, using the MRT will usually be simpler if you’re only visiting for a few hours.

5. What’s the Best Way to Get to One Bangkok?

There are several convenient ways to reach One Bangkok. The best option depends on where you’re staying and who you’re travelling with.

Transportation	Best For	Main Advantage
MRT Lumphini	Solo travellers and tourists	Direct underground connection
BTS + Free Shuttle Bus	Visitors staying along Sukhumvit	Free shuttle from Phloen Chit
Taxi / Grab	Families and groups	Convenient drop-off near the entrance
Private Car	Visitors carrying shopping bags or travelling in groups	Underground parking available

Our Recommendation: If you’re travelling light, take the MRT to Lumphini Station, Exit 1. It’s straightforward and avoids the hassle of traffic and parking.

However, for families or groups of friends, splitting a taxi or Grab fare can sometimes be a convenient alternative.
