Bangkok Express

Pet ur časa med lêti in lahko sva skočila še malo v mesto. Brez novih linij vlakov si tega ne bi upala.

Od decembra 2010 in januarja 2011, z letališča Suvarnabhumi v mesto peljeta dve liniji vlakov. Težko pričakovani Airport Rail Link so zgradili z veliko zamudo in je velika pridobitev za potnike na relaciji do letališča. City line (modra barva) pelje do postaje Phaya Thai, kjer lahko prestopite na Skytrain, naredi 6 postankov, traja pol ure in stane 45 Batov oziroma dober evro. Express linija (rdeča barva) pelje  s 160 km/h direktno na postajo Makkasan, vozi 15 minut in stane 150 Batov. Na City line je gužva velika, medtem ko imate na Express liniji občutek, da ste na osamljenem planetu. Priporočam City line, ker pripelje do postaje, ki je povezana s Skytrainom in je celo mesto na dosegu, od postaje Makkasan, kjer ustavi Express linija, boste hitro razmišljali o taxiju in časovno niste kaj dosti pridobili.

Back to Bangkok. A brand new 160 km/h express train to the city, makes a stop between five hour flights, now possible.

From december 2010 and from 4th January 2011 there are two express train lines from Suvarnabhumi International Airport, Airport Rail Link, taking you to the center of Bangkok. At the airport, just fallow the Train to city sign and than choose your ride. The City line (blue) takes you to Phaya Thai station, where you can connect directly to BTS Skytrain, it makes 6 stops on the way, it takes half hour and it costs 45 BHT (1 EUR). The Express line (red) will take you directly to Makkasan station, it takes only 15 minutes, it costs 150 BHT and you pay for the ticket at Makkasan station. The new trains mean a lot for Bangkok. The only transport before, was by road and it took one hour on average, and two or more if there was traffic and rain.
