If you want to transfer directly to the BTS Sukhumvit line don’t get off at Makasan.
Get off at the last station - Phaya Thai and you go downstairs straight onto the BTS.
Ive never done it that way, Ive always either been picked up from Makhasan station or stayed in the Makhasan area. but I assume continuing on to Phaya Thai its less walking time but more time on the train? Less walking with luggage would be easier. Although my last few trips from the Airport I have just used a taxi, yes it's more expensive and can take longer depending on traffic. But it's so much more easier.
เขมรมั้ย😅😅😅
was just about to ask this question
I also would recommend that. Not so much walk, and easier connection. Makkasan is not a very convinient station.
Yes that is best way if you need the BTS.
Still in the planning stages, so any 'how-to' familiarization content helps big time when it comes to making the big move. Thanks, and much appreciated.
Bangkok has to be one of the most efficient cities for getting from the airport to downtown. Also very cheap. Unlike cities where you have to take a taxi from the airport
There's a reason why people pay (a lot) more to take a taxi. It offers door to door service. And it's the same price whether it's 1, 2, or 3 people. Someone travelling to Bangkok would most likely lug along a lot of heavy luggage. Having to transfer from one line to another (with the heavy baggage) takes the convenience out of everything especially after a long flight, one just wants to get to the hotel and refresh up. A true rail link should take passengers directly to Central Bangkok, (like the Hong Kong Airport Express, price notwithstanding), and not requiring the passenger to step off at some suburban station and transfer to another line to get into the city.
I see Forrest... Like button already has got a HIT.
Keep going. Always enjoy your videos.
Yes Forrest, this was a great video. Definitely saved to my reference section. Awesome. Thank you. Michele
Thanks. These are clear helpful instructions.
This is extremely informal. Especially for those arriving for the first time on their own. Instead of paying for overpriced taxi.
Very informative, thank you Forrest.
Very useful info bro. Thanks for sharing
Great video buddy. First time viewer. Just subbed.
A good presentation of touring guides, thank you
You're the man, Forrest.
When you visit Thailand, I highly recommend using the Airport Rail Link (City Line) for your journey from the airport to the city centers.
It takes less than 30 minutes, and the fare is just 45 baht at most, which is much more convenient and faster compared to other transportation options.
Do you know if i can buy the tokens with a credit/debit card? Thanks in advance
@@bizcochodulce For Airport Rail Link, Cash only at this moment.
No, you can't. The machine takes only cash which are small notes (20/50/100 THB) or coins. For credit cards, you may need to take cash from ATMs which are plenty at every station. If you have large notes you will be able to buy a ticket at the kiosk or you can buy a top-up card with a small deposit (50 THB).
Looking good, Forrest!
Good stuff Forrest Lee.
Super helpful, thanks!
My mom usually uses the Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport Transit to get to the hotel. She always stops at Ratchaprarop station which is between the Makkasan station and Phaya Thai station.
that will help! Thanks a lot
Very very good and nice explanation 👍thank you for this top video 🙏dirk
I like the way you speak thai with thai accent😊.
thank you, big help. 👍👍👍👍
Just in time - will take the opposite route you showed on Tuesday 😊
Thanks for sharing
Good vid. I wish I could find the schedules for these transit types. Getting in after 2200 to the airport and then needing to get off a plane, walk to the airport rail link and then in to the city requires a good understanding of late night schedule in order to know if this is a good option or if I'm just going to get to Makkasan and then not have a ride the rest of the way to Asok area....if you know what I mean.
I’m happy to know a rail option exists, straight from the airport
Thank you for a great video and sharing. Please tel me after you paid the lady she gave you two red tokens but I saw that you used a card !? to go through the gate ? what was that card ? then noticed you used the token in another gate ? I'm little confused .Once you were on MRT how many station was it to Sukhmvit ? thanks
Just go straight to the last stop in Phaya Thai, it’s more convenient to transfer to BTS line if your destinations are Mo Chit, Victory Monument, Chitlom, etc.
Great video as always lot never show stopping here to transit to mrt.
Does anyone have an opinion whether using mrt to sukhumvit or going further and transit with BTS to nana is faster ?
Your English & Thai Languages are vary good as I like your reaction of Suwannapum Airport
i usually go to Phaya Thai station and use the bts much easier
Can i get bts from phaya thai to Phrom Phong ?
@@ORIGINOLINDIVIDUAL Yes, you can even without changing.
But this way is actually shorter to sukhumvit?
If my final destination is Nana station, should I take the airport link to the end and then ride the BTS back to Nana? I will have one medium sized roller bag. I’m not concerned about the cost, just which route is the easiest to navigate. Transferring to the MRT at Makkasan, and then transferring again to the BRT at Sukhumvit seems complicated.
The airport link to the end is the easiest
I always take the ARL.. something about public transportation for me.. :)
Hello,
Does GRAB work at BKK airport ?
Thank you for your comments.
I use 3 In denmark and I get thai roaming included along with singapore...
The best deal you can get In denmark
Exchange you money on the base floor. Better rates.
I'm just wondering how it is around 12AM. I might just hop in a cab at that hour. It does sound like a nice option during the day.
Thanks for the video. DO you know if i can buy the tokens with a credit/debit card? Thanks in advance
Is it safe to take a taxi from suvanappom airport to a hotel in bkk around 3 :00 am, since probably there will not be airport rail link running at that time? Thank you!
Good Morning. How long Does it take the rail ride from the airport station til Makkasan?
Thanks on the train right now and wonder what i do with the coin when i arrived.
I remember about 6 or 7 ago there was an express line to Makahasan, then express to Phaya Thai. Not sure why they stopped the express trains
As Thai, I heard from may news sources that the SRT who operates this ARL has some financial problem to provide more trains to the system to increase service capacities and varieties. That partly because they belongs to government service (unlike BTS/MRT are operated by private sectors )which quite slow when they try to set up budget and planning to acquires more trains.
I loved your video--really good detail--the tickets, the currency, and your good humour. One constructive criticism would be to not skim over the abbreviations of the BTS, MRT, ATR, etc....as newbies may not be sure what they are. good job, thank you.
Can you use credit cards on the kiosks?
I gotta start taking the 🚆
After they burned tons of fuel to get to BKK. Green energy is what is most on my mind to get to the city.
May reason is not to get stuck in traffic to use ARL, BTS, MRT.....
To take the BTS you better change at Phaya Thai.
To walk is much shorter.
We are landing in Bangkok in the morning. Whats the best way and cost effective way to travel from the airport to pattaya city?
Can u guide me what stop should i take I'll be staying in bang kapi district
If you keep going to Phaya Thai, it's a 2 min walk to the BTS
did you try thai elite visa?
Best video to tell about new means of transport from Suvarnabhumi to Bangkok city in a very simple,layman language. Very easy to understand. I believe you just copied the U.K English accent. Brilliant
Getting off at asoke would have been nice
I might have missed something, but when you bought your fare at the airport did they give you 1 or 2 tokens (1 for the start and 1 for the ending). Or, do you use the same token at both ends?
One token. When entering you to put it on the tap (I don't know if it is the correct English word) to get opened the gate. At the final station you put the token into a slot when leaving.
@@hassanalihusseini1717 Perfect. Completely clear now. Thanks
@@paul2dYou are welcome!
How to get domestic air ticket in this airport ?
Great video
Thank you !
❤
If you visit Bangkok for the first time, don't get out at Makkasan station. Instead, go all the way to Phraya Thai, board the connected BTS back to Asoke, and giggle when you hear the announcement lady say "Next station, Nana" for the first time.
Forrest, were you joking or serious about not doing as well financially? The market is up this year. So if you were serious I’m assuming TH-cam revenues went down. I enjoyed your video with Evan(?). Hearing your interview with him actually got me back into being more proactive in handling my stocks and it’s been 👍
0:32 would've been quite funny if you do the typical Commiefornian Ultra Extra accent like.... "Ugh mah gawd. It's also Enviromentol friendliiieay. It's very slaaaayyy, like Slay kween"
I didnt know your Thai is very good.
1:13 Currency exchange rates at BKK are *way* worse than in town. Just wait or use an ATM.
No, just use currency exchange near ( before ) rail link
@@slesru Thing is, most people don't go down into the basement. They exit on 2nd floor.
@@viktor.egelund video is about rail link :-) btw, if you spend 10 minutes you will avoid 220 baht atm fee.
hello can i catch the first SRT train going to ban klong luk, if i ride airport rail link to lat krabang?
May be a little bit difficult as there are only two trains a day. One in the morning, and one in the afternoon. I would not recommend the train in the afternoon as you will arrive after 05pm at the border to Kampucha.
The morning train from my station (Khlongtan) leaves at around 07am... so I think from Lat Krabang it will leave at may be around 07:25am.
Much easier if you stay a day in BKK and take the bus to Kampucha.
@@hassanalihusseini1717 thanks for your reply, i read that first airport rail link leaves at 6am from airport do i risk it or should just take tuktuk or taxi i will arrive in airport at maybe 3 or 4am suvarnabhumi
@@hoyember 06am should be fine. If you want to go to Lat Krabang it only takes 10min or so.
I think it costs15 Baht from Airport to Lat Krabang, and from Lat Krabang to the border may be 45 Baht.
@@hassanalihusseini1717 thanks bro
Usually easier to have a carrier unlocked phone
Is it safe to use the airport link at 10pm, my flight arrives at 9:30pm.
Yes, it is. Thailand is very very safe at all times. Go to a food court, and you will see people leaving their handbags on a table in order to reserve it and then relaxed go for taking food. Nobody will steal them.
Sounds like a dream for many Americans and Europeans, doesn't it?
gReEn EnErGy!
Been to Bangkok once a few years ago, loved it, and had wanted to go back again for vacation ever since. As a matter of fact, I am planning to visit again in December. Really looking forward to it except that people are saying that there might be political unrest because of some issues with the recent election. I don't really know very much about what's going on. Do you think its safe to visit Bangkok in December, given whatever is going on there with its politics?
I'm Thai. I don't have any problems. Where did you hear that it's not safe? It's ridiculous because we already have the Prime Minister according to the law and now is the tourist season. Many destinations for travelers coming to Bangkok and going out to other provinces. December is a travel period for foreigners who escape the cold to find warm countries. The temperature in Thailand is comfortable. You can go swimming in the sea and the weather is clear. Or in Bangkok, there are many places to visit.
Generally our news outlets just tell us what they want us to know. If an election is going on there or here, there are issues. Do you remember our last two elections. Did you move out of out country? We need to stop pretending we are so good and everyone else is so bad. Just people y'all and we should only behave like people to each other.
Where are you come from?
Can i get the bts from Phaya thai to Phrom Phong ?
Yes easy and no change. (One stop before "my" station Thonglo).
Absolutely everyone who arrives to BKK knows about the ARL.
did u even say how long all this will take???
Believe me, it’s faster then any other transportation,you will not be disappointed unless you have problem walking Cos you have to do some walking.
Green energy 😂
Easy. Just kind of like in China.
It's utterly ridiculous that you have two lines that don't talk to each other requiring two different train companies and ticket types to travel from the Airport to the Central Terminal Station. Even in Australia, not really known for getting its transport 100% right is better than this. The Thai system is not user friendly.
Why 2???? Not one ticket? 😢
Dude have you really fallen on “hard times”? For real? Need a place to crash for a while?
Thai people must stop looking down on Cambodian
Crypto is downed. Everybody is poor. 😂
At least say the airport name right. Have no idea what your trying to pronounce.
Repetitive, unoriginal nontent.
I miss the train announcers commentary... I forget how it goes.. "the next station is xxxx"... in a soft female voice... - never got to hear it in your video..
"Sathanii Tho Pai.... Anusauarii Chai Samuraphum" = "Next station...Victory Monument".... 🙂
