Getting from Ladprao/Ramkamhaeng Uni to Sathorn by boat?

[TheWayUp]

Hi,

My partner studies at Ramkamhaeng Uni, and lives nearby on Ladprao 122, but has a new job across the city, near the Saphan Taksin pier (a long commute I know, but that can be normal for Bangkok residents).

Does anyone know if it's possible to use the canal network to get from Ladprao 122 (where there's a small pier) to Saphan Taksin, and if so, is this quicker than taking a bus and the skytrain. Thanks!

I think you'd have to do boat and then skytrain.

^ Nope

Get the boat to Asoke pier, Get the MRT to Silom station, then get the BTS Sala Daeng to Saphan Taksin station.
