How to get to Rajamangala Stadium
Parking isn’t really much of a problem at Rajamangala as much as the traffic surrounding it. When there’s a big event in town, BLACKPINK doing a Bangkok concert, for example, there will be plenty of time to sit in the car and pray you can get out of that area in an hour. Bangkok public transportation provides a lot of alternatives:
Train – The BTS and MRT doesn’t go as far as Hua Mak, so the closest you can get is via the Airport Rail Link. Simply transfer to Airport Rail Link at BTS Phaya Thai or MRT Petchaburi, then ride the Airport Rail Link to Hua Mak station. That will get you close enough for a brief motorcycle taxi or taxi ride to the stadium.
Bus – Bus numbers 22, 60, 71, 92, 93, 99, 109, 115, 207, 501, and 545 also work. You can also download the app ViaBus to plan routes from your home.
