    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...

    • ricardofel commented : ere to drop me off and if you arrive at Makkasan from the airport there were NO taxis to take you home. All in all a rather incompetent creation, but typical.

    • Nelly commented : e lower floor where the train arrives the elevators quickly filled up, leaving a large group jostling in front of the doors to be sure of a place on the next trip. So I took the escalators... great idea. These long escalators slowly take you to the next floor, where you then have to double-back on yourself to the start of the next escalator and so on up 4 floors. Of course, this is Thailand and people stand all over the escalators (keep to the right!!!) or have a trolley, making it impossible to speed this up. This tactic of slowing your exit down works ok in Paragon, but is frustrating in an airport - so if you are in a hurry, also factor an additional 5 minutes to get from the lower floor to departures!! On arriving back in Bangkok, now with wife and more baggage, the thought of going on the train, then BTS and then taxi v just getting in a taxi was too much. Sad, but I don't think I'll ever use it on arrival.
