    Airport Link opens

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

    ยป 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...

    • drake commented : AS of today. Both Express and City Line runs 0600 till midnight only. You can catch the MRT (subway) at Makkasan and SkyTrain at PhayaThai. There is a walkway connecting SkyTrain (BTS) to City Line platform at Phaya Thai. There is no connecting walkway of any sort from Makkasan to MRT (subway), you have to get out to the road and walk across the tracks to get to the MRT station. There's a taxi stand on the third floor of the Makkasan station (follow the paper sign) but I've seen only one Taxi there the few times I've gone through that 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

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.
