Bangkok (port)

About Bangkok (port)

Bangkok Port, officially the Port of Bangkok at Khlong Toey, sits on the eastern bank of the Chao Phraya River around 10 km from the Sukhumvit-Silom commercial core. The port handles container traffic, river cruise calls, and the occasional ocean-going passenger vessel that can navigate the river bar. Cruise activity in central Bangkok complements deeper-water calls at Laem Chabang, 130 km south-east near Pattaya, which uses a different transfer routing.

Getting from Bangkok (port) to Bangkok

Khlong Toey is well inside the urban area, with Sukhumvit Road and the Rama IV Expressway directly accessible. Sukhumvit BTS stations are a short drive away but luggage-unfriendly. A pre-booked transfer is the most practical option after a cruise call, with a fixed fare covering the short hop to a Sukhumvit or Silom hotel, the longer run to Suvarnabhumi or Don Mueang airport, or onward transfers to Pattaya or Hua Hin.

Berths and pickup points

Cruise calls berth at the designated passenger area within Khlong Toey Port. After clearing port formalities, walk to the main passenger gate where pre-booked drivers wait inside or just outside, holding a name sign with the lead passenger’s name. Security clearance at the gate is straightforward when the booking matches the manifest.
