Help
My new LBGF tells me the BTS Skytrain is now open from Suvarnabhumi to Sukhumvit. Can anyone confirm, if so, explain how to get to it from the terminal? I will be coming to BKK on 19 August, this would be a great option to the taxi hassle.

I actually think the train is quite expensive if I recall about 250bht and a lot more hassle. Then a cab from station to hotel, worls out not much less than a cab all the way, or haul your luggage through the streets. If you negotiate well, on insist on meter, a cab will be about 400bht to Nana area. IMHO well worth the extra couple of dollars.

Thanks OZ,
Sounds like I'll just stick with the taxi then.

There are some huge plans for the BKK public transportation.
Have a look here:

I guess what the lbgf was referring to is the express train from Suvarnabhumi to Phaya Thai station, which is close to her room, but according to the BKK transit authority website, that line doesn't open until 23 August. 250B to the center of BKK, not far from Victory monument. I will look for more specific info when I get to Suvarnabhumi on the 19th.

I got in on the 19th, so it wasn't open yet, but did see a spot on the local news about the grand opening. It was obviously much over-rated and biased coverage. Oh well, guess I'll just stick to meter taxi, never had a problem yet.
