How to get to Bangkok Dolls Museum?

By bus, taxi, tuk-tuk or walking

The location is quite walking able from the Ratchaprarop Airport Rail Link station. You should take the exit 3 of the station and then head north along Ratchaprarop Road. You need to cross the Chaturathit Road at the first intersection then walk right and take the first left turn to an apparently unnamed street. The turn will be hard to miss since the pedestrian walkway ends. From there you need to walk past the Kovittumrong school to an elevated highway. This intersection finally has a sign telling that you are on "Soi Ratchata Phan" on which the museum is located. At this point you need to go to across the elevated highway (watch out for cars on the ordinary road at ground level). You will face an intersection with a pink and white building. Both forks will take you to the doll museum

NOTE: When you take taxi or tuk-tuk from near Victory Square to reach there. However, it is really difficult to find, make sure that you know the telephone number of Bangkok Dolls to ask them the way to go, because it seems that nobody know where it is
