Getting oriented

Phrom Phong sits between Asok and Thong Lo on the BTS Sukhumvit line. In Thai the station is written พร้อมพงษ์. It is not listed as an interchange, so for this station you only need the Sukhumvit line.

Before you leave the platform, find the exit number that matches your destination on the map. That small check helps you pick the right way out.
