    Airport Link opens

    By david, Created on: 16/08/2010, Last updated on: 12/01/2016

    » The new airport rail link opens August 23 and Only three problems impede its linkup with the skytrain and the underground? Once these issues are sorted out, however, the benefits for Bangkok's tourism industry will be phenomenal? The airport link will be good for single travelers, but for 2 or more...

    • beowulf commented : I used the airport link trains on my trip to Bangkok in September 2010. I used the express non-stop service to Makkasan at about 6 pm on my arrival and the City Line stopping service from Phayathai Station when I departed at 6 am. The fares paid were 100 Baht & 15 Baht respectively. Both fares rise in January 2011. The train services were excellent and there's plenty of room for baggage. The non-stop service was practically empty, with most people taking the much cheaper City Line service. There were no Taxi's on the forecourt on arrival at Makkasan so I had to walk about 100 metres to the main road to flag down a Meter Taxi. The first City Line service from Phayathai station is at 6 am which was okay for me but earlier trains would be better. Those catching a taxi to the City Line at Phayathai station should enter from the escalator on the slip road at the Skytrain station and not go up the steps to the Skytrain station itself.

    • drake commented : station. With the ongoing 15 baht promo the City Line can be completely packed at times. Yes, it's the fastest/cheapest way to get across town right now. I can take BTS from OnNut to PhayaThai then the City Line back down to HuaMak in under 40 minutes during rush hour for all of 55 bht. http://airportraillink.railway.co.th/en/index.html Time Table. http://airportraillink.railway.co.th/th ... o_pth.html http://airportraillink.railway.co.th/th ... _line.html

    • bobbyd commented : are will rise from 100 to 150 baht, while fares on the City Line are no longer offered at the flat 15-baht rate, but at a new progressive rate of 15-45 baht. THAI's check-in services operate from 8am to 9pm. Passengers could check in and have their baggage loaded between three and 12 hours before their flights. The service is expected to appeal more to foreign backpackers. Supposedly, a footbridge would be built to link Makkasan station and the MRT subway Phetchaburi station by May. Wanna wager on the date? Ratchaprarop, Hua Mak and Phaya Skytrain stations on the Airport Rail Link will be equipped with escalators by the middle of the year. This year? While I still like the airports trains I see comments such as this: he seats in the City line are too short! It is faster using a taxi from airport and using express ways than taking a taxi at Makasan which is surrounded by the most notorious traffic jams in Bangkok. 2 people up, its cheaper and FASTER to use a taxi as you need to take a taxi again anyway ones you arrive in the city by train!
