Trains in Bangkok
I didn't write about the trains in Bangkok in the previous post. We wanted to try their train system when we reach Bangkok as we always took cabs to the hotel and back to airport when we go Bangkok, so I told my wife that why now try the train and see is it better and cheaper. Taking cabs cost us about 500 baht per trip every time. The airport railway is at the basement of the airport and there is two types of railway line; one is express line and the other is city line. The express line have two different stop, one stopping at Makkasan station and one stops at Phaya Thai station. Phaya Thai station is link to BTS Rail where you can take to Siam centre where MBK and Siam square. The express line cost 90 baht per person. The city line has eight stops, The time for waiting the express line plus travelling is about 45mins with only one stop while the city line took about the same amount of time to travel with 7 stops. So we took the city line as it was cheaper. I think I would take the train if I go Bangkok again, it is cheaper and will not be inside the Bangkok famous traffic jam.
