    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...

    • gipchimsa commented : I want to give it a try and will probably do so when I return to BKK for the Euro winter (Ugh.) Taxis are getting a pain, or at least getting a meter was quite hard on my last visit and limo prices are a scam. I also like the time for the Express service as I always seem to sit in rush hour trafiic as the taxi nears my apartment (Ekamai.) I would appreciate some information from those who have used the Express service. Mainly because I have big luggage and a slight disability. (1) I have read that it is easily accessable from the airport arrivals hall. Is this fact? (2) Because the Link is apparently basement level, are there lifts (elevators) as well escalators (moving stairways) on entrance and exit to the facility? Escalators are a nightmare with cases and a walking problem. (3) Does the Express get busy between noon and 5pm ie. enough to make juggleing with suitcases a problem. (4) Are there plenty of meter taxis waiting around Makassan as yet, as you would expect at any rail terminal? I would be very grateful for any input for any of the above considerations. RW (UK.)

    • cnx_colin commented : Last trip had plenty of time to get use rail link as my flight was late afternoon had what can be descrided as a bir of a confrontation with the taxi driver gets in tells him new rail terminal at Makkasan pefect english reply why go there i take you airport on the meter No i say i want to try the new rail link the taxi driver spends all the journey trying to convince me that he can get me to the aiport faster becasue 1) the red shirts are at the station protesting 2) there a traffice jam 3) the trains broke and there are delays after much discussions he relutamtly drops me at another station a few stops before Makkasan which turned out great as i went on the slow train to the airport instead of the express for 45 bhat talking to other people who done the downtown to airport run taxi drivers are now more readily doing it on the meter rather than you have to negociate a seperate rate !!!!!

    • drake commented : [quote="len":3ugy6i8l]Mate of mine (speaks very good Thai language) said he was informed by the main downtown terminal station staff that trains run every 40mins at night, not every 10mins!! What wonderful news!! Can anyone else confirm this?[/quote:3ugy6i8l] Airport Link does NOT run every 10 minutes. More like an interleave of 40/30 minutes between the Express and 20-ish of the City Line. 5-8 minutes when you count the randomly inserted Huamak-PhayaThai morning supplemental. They've posted THIRTEEN separate time tables now.... There is a new PhayaThai Express service between Airport and PhayaThai station, finally. 90bht/ride introductory price till end of year. http://airportraillink.railway.co.th/en ... il/26.html There is still no sign of a walkway linking Makkasan station to the Subway which was supposed to be built 'middle of the year'. The pavestone sidewalk outside the station is buckling, watch your step.... Taxi/minibus/mosai services at other stations are much better organized now. I can actually grab a cab most of the time at my stop. They had (finally) built (asphalt) parking lot(s) at different stops back in Feb/Mar Some of the lots are now severely potholed....already ? The time table links on the Airport Rail Link English page are still forked. http://airportraillink.railway.co.th/en/index.html So, here's the time tables from their Thai page. Incidentally, the tables are in English.... Weekday, City Line, inbound. http://airportraillink.railway.co.th/th ... ity_1.html Weekday, City Line, inbound morning supplemental. http://airportraillink.railway.co.th/th ... ity_7.html Weekday, City Line, outbound. http://airportraillink.railway.co.th/th ... ity_2.html Weekend, City Line, inbound. http://airportraillink.railway.co.th/th ... ity_1.html Weekend, City Line, outbound. http://airportraillink.railway.co.th/th ... ity_2.html Weekday, Makkasan Express, inbound. http://airportraillink.railway.co.th/th ... ess_4.html Weekday, Makkasan Express, outbound. http://airportraillink.railway.co.th/th ... ess_3.html Weekend, Makkasan Express, inbound. http://airportraillink.railway.co.th/th ... ess_4.html Weekend, Makkasan Express, outbound. http://airportraillink.railway.co.th/th ... ess_3.html Weekday, PhayaThai Express, inbound. http://airportraillink.railway.co.th/th ... ess_6.html Weekday, PhayaThai Express, outbound. http://airportraillink.railway.co.th/th ... ess_5.html Weekend, PhayaThai Express, inbound. http://airportraillink.railway.co.th/th ... ess_6.html Weekend, PhayaThai Express, outbound. http://airportraillink.railway.co.th/th ... ess_5.html

    • salivapong commented : In my opinion , The airport rail link is fastest. If you want to go to the airport you must used the airport rail link but the airport rail link should have express and single travel because If only express it's very expensive on the other hand the single travel is late to arrive the airport.

    • bobbyd commented : Was reading a best and worst of 2010 stories. It mentioned [b:2hjbzvbs]seventy percent[/b:2hjbzvbs] of international flights arrive between midnight and 3am. As noted, Airport link closes at midnight and opens at 6am. [b:2hjbzvbs]Updates[/b:2hjbzvbs] Also read, Bangkok Airways and Thai Airways International began operating check-in counters at the Makkasan downtown station on Monday. Fares have risen: the Express Line fare 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!
