- Took the Airport Rail Link from Suvarnabhumi Airport to Paya Thai BTS station in downtown Bangkok. You get a nice view of the city when you arrive by train.
A one way ticket is just 45 THB, the total track is 28,4 km (17,6 miles). There are 8 stations and it takes about 30 minutes.

Lovely train ride from the airport. Bangkok is getting more and more modern, developed and beautiful.
Bangkok appears to be surprisingly modern and developed in this video. The architecture reminds me a bit of Florida.
Never seen that train so quiet, this video reminds me of that feeling of excitement I get when I arrive back in Bangkok after spending time away
Thank you so much for your videos. OMG I have never seem Suvarnabhumi that dead and the train I would be lucky to get a seat, Every time I hear the lady talking on the speaker I get a tear in my eye I miss being there so much. Thanks again
I love that airport link train. I get off at Makkasan and it cost me around 40 baht and it is so much faster than a taxi on the roads. Connect at Makkasan to the MRT and 3 stops later for another 15 baht I am directly under my condo building at Huai Khwang. The same distance by taxi from my home to the airport in Australia costs me the equivalent of around 1800 baht.
You know you're obsessed about Thailand when you click this video twice and watch it back to back like I just did :-)
Amazing video, great place. I wish you a good day.👍☺🌴🇮🇹🇮🇹
The bts, mrt and airport rail links is a really fun and effective way to move around Bangkok. Really enjoy travelling via those.
ยินดีต้อนรับ สู่ไทยแลนด์
ขอให้ทุกท่าน มีความสุข สนุกไปกับสถานที่ท่องเที่ยว บรรยากาศ วัฒนธรรม ประเพณี อาหารและรอยยิ้ม บนในแผ่นดินไทย 🇹🇭
Amazing train and very cheap price. I will love this transport and I will keep on loving Grab... 3€ to move to the center, very often with beautiful cars.
Here in Europe just the phone call to Taxi is 5 😆...
So beauty Bangkokthailand
Oh ... that voice on the train speaker. Many memories! Thanks for sharing another interesting video 😉
This really brought back fond memories.. the excitement of arriving downtown ASAP especially if you arrived on a friday evening.... the train really helps. Nice one GTM
TY for another very nice video. It makes me miss Thailand even more, but still it makes me happy seeing all those familiar places!
See you in the winter :-)
A country that everyone wants to go See you in Thailand
I miss this. I took the ARL in my last couple of visits to BKK. So convenient!
Thanks for the video. On my first visit to Bangkok I used makkasan express as it's the cheapest way to the airport to buy the daily English newspapers. I stayed at yaowarat area and walked to hua lamphong MRT before exited at petchaburi (I think) to get on makkasan express train
Good view
Très excitante arrivée en ville ! Superbe vidéo ❤️ Merci beaucoup et amitiés depuis Paris ❤️
Merci Jean :-)
Beautiful view, it make me relax.
I like the view of the elevated express way over the green area most.
The trains always have the better view.
Thank you Jeroen for the wonderful virtual train ride from Bangkok airport. Amazing ... 👍
Nice to see this ride. After all my years in Bangkok, this is the first time I look good out off the windows, while traveling this ARL. Normally I also take a Taxi to the Silom area. 🙏
Oh God GTM ... I have travelled once on this link to my hotel ..how much we all miss travelling
♥️🌟
Thanks for promote our country. ขอบคุณ
The city is always growing. Nice to see everything. Thanks for keeping us updated;)
Still make me happy see beautiful
Thailand very amazing hope when
Am back there have to using this link l
Line of this train !! Very nice video !
Thanks for update .can't wait to go back again.
Thanks for the video. I really miss Thailand and my hometown.
Wellcome to thailand
Since that is a journey I too will soon take, this entire video is very useful. I'll be getting off at Ratchaprarop and then possibly walk 800m (presumably very manageable) to my accommodation or to take metered taxi or Tuk-Tuk if there are any at the station. This is a remarkably fast journey from the airport into the city itself - where I stay in South Africa you could bargain on hours to get to the airport.
The road is big and beautiful.
Great video - very comprehensive .
Great video 🙋🙌🙏
Perfect trip, great to accompany you, next time stay On Nut too, so my plan. Stay safe 👍🇹🇭🇩🇪
Great video and thanks
Beautiful
สุดยอด
Very informative video. Why was A5 Ramkhamhaeng closed at the time of filming? I presume it's open now. I enjoyed the view up Ekkamai. I got to see the condo where I stayed last trip. Pity there is no easy way to cross the canal on foot with the Orange Line due to open soon.
Hi Jeoren. How are you? Nice video. Miss Bangkok very much.
I from outside Bangkok Esan area. but I love Bangkok city. Good video thank you 🥰
..........nostalgia............hellooooo.....thankyou.....
.......wow....wow........Remember..........Airport...to hearh city...............nostalgia.....
It makes me miss Thailand too much. Sigh.
This Service will transfer to CP. group for administration in this October, since this rail link will become the part of High-speed train for 3 airports link. CP is the major partner of the group who won the High-speed train for 3 airports link project.
Hope that doesn't green light fare increases coming
wow! good video !!!
Good job
for your information
Thanks
Love it I’m coming in June
Sorry I was late but I'm watching the video
Nice, so you can take this MRT line to/from Bangkok and Airport
I have rode this many times, nice easy way to avoid the traffic.....good video......and......see you in your next video!
At around 16:10 and 16:12 a view to my home at the distance. 🙂
hello from brazil very good
I'm so jealous. I always use the Airport Rail Link. I have a feeling I'll be there around April next year. Thailand has always felt like a 2nd home. You think I would have found somewhere closer, but I love flying. Thanks for sharing. 🧘🏻❤️☮️
I love this sentence "You think I would have found somewhere closer, but I love flying"
Thanks bro :)
*Nostalgia* 🤗😎🙂 have made that trip numerous times, I usually get off at Phetchaburi and connect to Sukhumvit metro line to get to Sukhumvit Road ... Oh those days 🥰
Phetchaburi Makkasan
@@sbalogh53 5555 One of the most confusing naming in Bangkok:
ARL = Makkasan
SRT = Asok (Makkasan is one station further to the west confusingly.)
MRT = Phetchaburi
Khlongboat = Asok
You just passed by my condo at Hua mak station 😆😁
I always love making this journey, and look forward to taking it next year. In reality though, it probably never should have been built. Thaksin had his fingers in the move from Don Muang & his sister made millions on the land purchases, that were doubtless purchased on the sly a few yrs before. Don Muang could have had a fast train to Hua Lamphong, and later Bang Sue would have worked well also. I remember arriving at Don Muang in 2004. The face cameras were a bit intimidating. You were at a raised level & descended down steps I think. And then later on, Don Muang was used again for commercial flights, as the airline slots became more expensive at Suvarnabhumi. That said, I love it now.
👍👍👍
What a relaxing journey! It's a shame I always took a cab from Suvarnabhumi. Next time, only Airport Link for me! Great update :) #GTMTime
The train is a great way to get to town.
@@globaltravelmate your video definitely shows it!
@@liro_mngbt Half the time and a tenth of the price of a taxi. If you get off at Makasan there is an easy walkway round to the MRT station Phetchaburi and then it is one stop to Sukhumvit.
@@petermoxham2625 thank you! I am now starting to realize how much time and money I spent in the traffic jams. Had I done a little more research this would come in handy as one of the places I stayed in was near Sam Yan so that's just a direct MRT ride from Makasan Station. Lesson learned indeed!
❤️❤️❤️
This clip is more useful than keep walking Sukhumvit Asok to Eakkmai or Thonglor that you always make it.
I make a video every day, over 540 videos. Some are maybe more useful then others. :-)
Nice videos! I wonder that can I change my money to smaller banknotes in the Railink/BTS station? but not as coins for the ticket machine.
ex: changing the 1000Thb into the 50Thb notes
Always wanted to try and get this train,been so many times as well to Thailand but always just jump in a taxi.I must try it as sure it’s great and at least you not get the crazy traffic.I stay around the nana soi 4/6 area.Is it easy to get to.
Strange... no *Thuds* sound between Hua Mak and Ramkamhaeng Station? I always hear it every times I rode the Airport Rail Link as if it's a common occurrence.
อยากให้คนไทยบินได้
Is there an elevator or stairs to get down to Airport Rail link station or are there only escalators? Thank you
Good Video and content but let down by very poor sound quality
Bang,apakah ada aturan baru lagi bln Mei apakah dari bangkok masuk atau pulang ke Indonesia masih hrs PCR test sebelum keberangkatan ke Indonesia atau sudah tanpa test pcr thanks
In The Philippines, There is No Rail Link to the Airport Until NSCR Clark Airport Branch Line, MRT Line 7 NMIA Station, and Metro Manila Subway NAIA Branch Line is Opened, this is Make it Inconvenient for Passengers to Reach Airport Because When you Go to Airport, You Stuck at Traffic Jam.
Hey Suvannhapumi near my home.
เราเป็นคนไม่ชอบตึกสูง ไม่อยากให้กรุงเทพสร้างตึกสูงๆอีกแล้ว ชอบแบบอาคารสองชั้นทำให้ดูสวยงามทันสมัยแบบเกาหลีมากกว่า ดูดีสะอาดตามากกว่ามีป้ายหน้าร้านดูเป็นระเบียบเสริมจุดเด่นด้วยการประดับไฟทันสมัย
ตึกสูงสวยแต่เราก้อไม่ชอบอยู่บนตึกหรือบริเวณใกล้เคียง ชอบอยู่ใกล้ตลาดมีชาวบ้านขายของในตลาดตามห้องแถวอาคารพานิชย์
งั้นต้องย้ายไปอยู่ต่างจังหวัด
Is there plans in the future to have the same service to pattaya. That would be asome.
Yes it is, SRT are going transfer this ARL to CP Group on October to start the construction for high speed train project connecting 3 airports (Donmuang-Suvarnabhumi-Utapao) which include Pattaya station.
@@omieome929 Thanks.
Never seen the airlink so empty. I am always very tired when riding this train after 11h over night flight.
The express line will come back with the high speed train just 3 more years 😐
You didn't edit the video right? I mean the rail ride you recorded the whole thing and didnt skip? the time in the vid is exacly how long the rail will take right? (Is it true that taking train is the fastest way to get to downtown Bangkok? even faster than taxi?)
I edited part at the stations out. So the actual ride takes a bit longer.
Hi dude
I have one question
Did u know about big compound near a bkk airport ?
Thank you advanced
What compound? Residential
I'll thanks.If you skip speaks while the girl announcer telling the station
Jeroen, do you know where the car assembly factories are located?
Mostly there are in Samutprakarn, Ayudhya, Chonburi, and Chachengsao and Rayong.
@@thasspongthapsang6769 excellent! Thank you so much!
So I understand that both the BTS and MRT lines are expanding like crazy, but does the government subsidize them in building all of the infrastructure? I know some buildings and malls help, but is that for part of the cost of the station or also for part of the cost of the rail line? Do they go through normal condemnation procedures in acquiring the right-of-ways and widening of the streets?
3 types of trains, BTS (Sky Train), MRT (some underground & some sky train), ARL (Airport Sky Train)...... For MRT, government takes care of everything. BTS is a little complicated. BTS consists of 3 sections. 1. Middle Section (Original, Mo Chit - Onnut). 2. Southern Extension (Onnut - Samutprakarn). 3. Northern Section (Mo Chit - Khu Khot). The Original section (middle), first operated in 1999. BTS Company handled everything (Construction, Purchasing Trains, Installing given signal system, implementing ticketing system, overseeing entire operation). City of Bangkok gave 30 years contract to BTS (1999 - 2029)..... Whereas northern & southern extensions, City of BKK handled construction, but BTS handle the rest (train, ticketing, given signal system, operation). Last year, City of BKK quietly planed to extend BTS contract for another 30 years!!!; which plays in to BTS hand, cuz BTS simply gets contract renewal and doesn't have to compete with others bidders. BTS claimed that they have to raise the price to 158 baht (full length ride), However, the previous agreement, the fare was capped at 65 bath. So, the government stepped in and hold off the negotiation. They're working in bring the numbers down from 158 to 104 baht. (They removed the crazy entry fee, around 15 baht "per each section"; meaning patron will only pay one time entry fee). BTS was kinda like "Oh yeah, that's negotiable if City of BKK is willing to extend the contract for anther 30 years") ..... (((WTF!!!))).. P.S. Without 30 years contract extension, City of BKK has to pay off the debt that they owe BTS from the original contract (middle section), in order to keep the fare low. ....In my opinion, City of BKK shouldn't have extended another 30 years contract. City of BKK should've let the contract expired. Then, arrange a fair auction. Let other companies join the bidding process. Another option, is to do just like the government does with MRT (government runs the show in everything; construction, train, ticketing, given signal system, operation). Due to ongoing disagreement in fare-cap, as of today, the patrons can ride northern extension "for free" until unknown date. The downfall is, as days go by, City of BKK owes more money to BTS, cuz BTS is a private entity. They definitely won't let anybody ride the trains for free, They will go after City of BKK in the future, for sure. FYI, BKK metro system is the most expensive metro system "IN THE WORLD", by per km & by comparing to the minimum wage.
@@Sebernica Thank you for the interesting and detailed explanation. I don’t doubt the transit system in Bangkok is hugely expensive, but given the massive traffic jams the city used to experience, I assume the government had to figure out solutions to efficiently moving millions of people around each day. The way I view it is, one generation always pays it forward to the next. Meaning, I never paid for the major highways built in my city that I use everyday, but I am currently paying for a now under construction mass transit system yet to be running. Seems like if a growing city doesn’t deal with how their people move around, people would want to move away, land values drop, you won’t see malls and great new restaurants opening up, so it’s a trade off. You guys did a great job cleaning up air pollution. I remember visiting back in the 1980’s with black smoke coming out of the buses.
Do you know how Bangkok handles the compensation to land owners in the acquiring of land for these rail right of ways? In the US, after a decision where the rail will cut through, it figures out which pieces of land will be affected and then gets appraisers to value the land to pay to the land owners. This often happens in street widening where they have to pay all of the property owners for the land they are taking. So it’s a long process here. I know many of the rail lines there operate on already used streets, but wondering about new areas? Thank you again.
@@aging1847 I'm Thai, but I spend 50:50 of my time in both BKK and L.A., so I get what u mean. Problem with BKK trains system is the fare is so expensive, compare to the wages. Let's say construction workers earn minimum wage around 300 baht/day ($10 USD). The ticket fare, let's say 60 baht. If with connections, it'd be something like 150 baht or more. This is one-way only. If the patron needs a motorcycle taxi, that would be another 20 baht, add on. You can see that the daily wage doesn't cover the rides; let alone, food, rent, bills, etc... Basically, I don't think we can call BKK Metro system as "Mass Transit", cuz it's not available for all. It's available for those who earn 4X of the minimum wage. There're talks that government should subsidize the fare, just like how China does. I think that's not gonna happen......... For expropriation process, it's similar to the U.S. The government tend to send letters to the properties owners. If people in the neighborhood strongly object, they might arrange public hearing. Sometimes government decide to detour the route. But most of the times, the owners have to give in. Also, the owners usually receive the market value. ........... FYI, the real estates value in Thailand is skyrocketing (just like in Hong Kong). When there're news about the metro rail lines are going to pass through certain areas, The properties value on both side of the streets will shoot up, crazily. They should've done just like how Japan does. In Japan, if they plan to build the rails in certain areas, Japanese government would control the price of the properties on both side of the streets.
@@Sebernica Thank you again. Yes, to visitors, the BTS and other lines are so cheap, but I am aware of the disparity amongst the regular Thai resident you point out. I agree that the government should step it and subsidize them because it only helps raise economic opportunities for those in that situation leading to a higher standard of living for everyone eventually. Regular unlimited ride bus passes here cost now $70/month and senior passes now $6/mo (used to be $40 for 2 years). People in one district of Bangkok could travel to other parts of Bangkok quickly to get to a job whereby they otherwise couldn’t get. More people working. More people spending money at a shopping place across town. No brainer.
just realize airport link higher than bts or mrt
How easy is it to connect to BTS from that last stop? I heard that it only brings you fairly close; not like an integrated station.
In the following video I walk from the BTS station to the Airport link Connection. th-cam.com/video/rttWcKMvD3Y/w-d-xo.html
Thanks! I appreciate the video answer to my question.
Hello
Hello Jai Jai
What was the trip time from the airport to your destination point?
About 30 minutes.
@@globaltravelmate that’s awesome! I’ve only ever gotten the train into the city once, during the day, and usually the convenience factor rules. But given the chaos during the day, this really is a solid choice.
Why they cancelled the red express line?
wait this isn't live because i'm in bangkok now and its dark outside
Haha Sam, yes it was a premiere :-)
I'm astonished. 14k people watching a video showing a railway trip that actually is completely unused, since it connects a ghost airport to a dead city...
All the travelers that would normally occupy these trains can only travel online now, through these kind of videos, unfortunately.
I understand. I live in Bangkok, and it's so frustrating watching the best city of the world dying in the name of a total madness...
Apart from the cheap propaganda of the authorities, we will probably see tourists again in 2023, but the question is what tourists will find here. Actually Thailand is a land of zombies driving motorcycles with mask and no helmets, where getting a beer in a bar or having a walk in a public parks is forbidden, but industries and 7/11 are open...
I recommend Thailand lovers not to come here until back to normal (if this will ever happen); coming now may be a shock, but what's more it may turn out in a prison nightmare...
Thanks for the good job you're doing.

what time of the day was this bts empty?
sorry I ment the airport link and I guess bts
This was during the Pandemic, when not many people where flying.
