The station is a few minutes away from Mo Chit BTS Skytrain Station.

Ekamai Eastern Bus Terminal: Buses for the east coast, including Pattaya and Rayong, depart from Ekamai bus station which is conveniently located adjacent to the Ekamai Skytrain stop. There are also some buses which run from Mo Chit to Pattaya and the east coast, but most services run out of Ekamai.
