INFO & LINKS: The trip took 1hr 20mins approx, I left the airport at 3.55pm. I waited 15 minutes for the train at Lat Krabang but there is a timetable online. COST: Airport Rail Link train to Lat Krabang 15 baht, Train from Lat Krabang to Asoke 6 Baht, 136 bus from Makkasan to Asoke Sukhumvit 8 Baht. It's not ideal with heavy suitcases or young children! Proper backpackers should enjoy it, saving the cash and seeing the ''real'' Thailand!

Is the Asoke 6 station is connected to the MRT ? Is it close walking distance to Asoke station ?

@BangkokPat Жыл бұрын

@@benmontjo Asoke Halt station is under the Makkasan Airport Rail Line station. So you have 3 stations in Makkasan all next to eachother with different names! MRT Petchaburi, ARL Makkasan, SRT Asoke Halt. To get to Asoke BTS you need to take the MRT one stop to Sukhumvit Station, which is next to asoke BTS. Confused?

Do you also have a similar route from the Don Muang airport ?

@StraightOuttaBangkok Жыл бұрын

Depending on how much luggage you have, switching to the MRT at Makkasan for 1 stop to Sukhumvit can be easier than going all the way to Phaya Thai on the ARL if you're staying around lower Sukhumvit. If you're staying in upper Sukhumvit, Ramkamhaeng station will bring you out around Phra Kanong Soi 71.

Tip: If you are hungry or thirsty inside of BKK airport, take the escalator down to the second floor. It's casual food court (need Thai currency) You are able to eat lunch/dinner for 60-80 baht with 20-40 baht drinks. The same floor has bus kiosk going to Jomtien Beach as well for 151 baht I believe.

Years ago there used to be special buses from the airport that would take you various parts of Bangkok including Sukhamvit Road. The buses went from the ground floor next to the food court, tickets were cheap as well. I remember it would drop you off anywhere on Sukhamvit Road you required , brilliant ! A lot less hassle than changing 3 times on the BTS transit system.

I even buy all my stuff rather in bangkok than here…not because the prices are cheaper (no they are not (mostly)). Walking in the rain with an umbrella like an old victorian gentleman, listening to scooter engines (they calm me down), eat some papaya, play pool with some strangers who share common interests… If I could, I would instantly migrate to Bangkok…learn the language, learn some local habits and stuff. Perhaps future home-office rules can make it possible to stay at least 2-3 month there…who knows.

A fun way to travel, using three forms of transport, but not when you have luggage! The ARL to Makkasan, and MRT from Phetchaburi to Sukhumvit would cost not much more (35 + 16 = 51bahts), and without the hassle of waiting for the irregular SRT train and the risk of missing the Asoke Halt stop which has no station building. Do it only if you have time to kill, and no luggage!

Interesting way to commute from the AirPort. Bangkok offers unlimited opportunities for adventure, though it does take a toll on you sometimes😬

I look at the taxi queue, then head to the rail link. I must admit it never occurred to me before to head up to departures and ‘steal’ a cab that’s just dropped off! And as someone else commented on this route. So it’s Makkasan, walk to Phetchaburi, which takes you to Terminal 21. I’m sure I didn’t spend much more than an English Pound too.

A very utilitarian video for the ambitious traveler, however I think I'll recommend anyone just arriving in BKK just take a taxi an overlook this very ambitious, but not worthwhile trip. Just one man's opinion. Be well Pat!

After flying long haul, who in their right mind wants to do this trip to save a dollar????

Heading from California to BKK in 7 weeks. Hope to connect then Pat.
