Facilities
[edit]
Siam station is one of four BTS stations utilising an island platform, the other being Samrong, Wat Phra Sri Mahathat and Ha Yaek Lat Phrao, and is the only station on the Silom line to feature an island platform. At Siam, this is to facilitate transfer between lines. The upper level allows transfer between trains heading to Khu Khot and the National Stadium. The lower interchange level allows transfers between trains heading to Bang Wa and Kheha.
The station is located on Rama I Road to the west of Pathum Wan intersection in the heart of Siam area. The station is linked via skybridges to the Siam Square One, Siam Paragon, Siam Center and Centerpoint of Siam Square shopping centres. It is also adjacent to Siam Square. Additionally, an elevated walkway (called Sky Walk) connects Siam station to Central World Plaza, the Ratchaprasong junction and Chit Lom station.
