Bangkok Ekkamai Bus Terminal.
Ekkamai is a Bangkok bus gateway for travel toward eastern Thailand, including the Pattaya and Chonburi area. Check the operator and exact station before you book.
The station
The durable English form is Bangkok Bus Terminal (Ekkamai). BKS also uses the short form Ekkamai in its English terminal list. The Thai operator uses สถานีขนส่งผู้โดยสารกรุงเทพ เอกมัย on its current station map. Parentheses around เอกมัย appear in other public usage, but the name itself is stable.
The terminal is in Khlong Toei district, Bangkok. Its strongest network role is as BKS's eastern terminal. BKS groups the Ekkamai operation under ภาคตะวันออก, the eastern region. That supports a broad description of the terminal as a Bangkok road gateway toward eastern Thailand without freezing a route list.
Routes and the surrounding city
Ekkamai sits in the Sukhumvit urban corridor. BTS's official network map has E7 Ekkamai on the Green Line, or Sukhumvit Line. This is useful city context because the rail station and bus terminal share the Ekkamai name and form part of the same transport district.
The terminal's public-transport activity includes BKS and joint-service bus operations associated with the eastern region. BKS's current eastern-region page names operators serving eastern provinces and cities. That page is useful evidence for the terminal's regional role, but individual routes should remain live-checked rather than copied as a permanent list.
