Bangkok Airport gets rail link

BANGKOK’S high speed light rail link from Suvarnabhumi, the new international airport, towards the city, is now expected to open 5 December.  But as they say “don’t hold your breath”.  The airport set new records for delays and even when it opened some domestic flights were relocated.  All that is behind Suvarnabhumi now and reports indicate that the airport itself is working fine.  Two lines have been completed, one 15-minute non-stop to Makkasan, which is still a taxi ride to some of the downtown hotels, and a stopping operation, taking twice as long, to Phaya Thai Station, again some distance from the commercial area.  AERBT will be reviewing the rail links once they are opened.  www.bangkokairportonline.com
