one is the express line which goes to makassan station, which cost around 150b. the next one is the every stop will stop... is around 40b to rajaphop station, which is near pratunam. Hotels near there are baiyoke suite, baiyoke sky, budacco, kl palace, myhotel, khurana inn, metro , pavilion, alphine, walking distance to there is about 10 minutes. So if u stay around platinumal mall, such as arnoma , centrepoint petchaburi, glow first hotel, first house, you might not want to alight here, else u have to walk around 25 min to reach there :)

Given the link above from one of the bro, Bangkok Airport - Train Timetable Route & Prices - Suvarnabhumi Meaning the Golden Land or Land of Gold
Basically is "Yes"

But there are bros who said "No" too

Thanks for the feedback, will search for the express line from Airport straight to Phaya Thai when i am there in Aug :s13:

Just a side note, there is a longer waiting time for the express trains which we found out before taking it. I think the waiting and journey time can make up for the normal train ride to Phayathai.

To me, it was not worthwhile to take the Express service. It is a lot more expensive and it is so infrequent. The route is the same.

Hi all,

My hotel is near Ratchathewi Skytrain station so I will just take the Express direct to Phaya Thai and change to BTS. Is there a lot of walking switching from Express to BTS line?

Or am I better off to take a cab from Phaya Thai to my hotel.

Thanks

If I have a group and much luggage, I will take a taxi. One has to get to the ground level of the ARL station, walk to the BTS station, get to its platform level, buy tickets, etc...
Your hotel is only 500m away, if I am traveling light, I will walk.

If 1 or 4 person then take train

If 2 or 3 person then take cab

coz 1 person take cab = 450-500B vs take train/BTs = 100B
4 person must take 2 cabs since luggage cannot fit = 1000B vs take train/BTs = 400B

Should have ample direction right?

Should I wait for the express train? then less stop and "faster" for me? Interval is 30mins ?
