Airport train fare for 2 costs thb300, which probably covers fare (add thb75 for toll?) to Ratchada door step. Minus hassle of connect MRT (not seamless) with luggage. Even cabs at Makassan station are quiet rare. One evening arrival at 830pm, I had to wait for security to call one up (thank goodness, 1 came up with departing passengers).
Airport train is ok when you solo, travel light. Commute is easily under 20mins.

150b per person for airport train, sure boh? Took once to airport from Makkasan only about 50b.
Agree that airport train is only ok if you travel light and not need to change train to city MRT to Ratchada.

Need your opinion.
Will be arriving in Bkk with another buddy around mid Nov but flight schedule to arrive at 3:30pm, if flight on time then after getting luggage and going through immigration/custom , should be around 4:30pm or start of rush hr traffic right, traffic is usually bad in BKK but I think it might be worse starting at this time:confused: Planning to book a hotel near the Huay Khwang MRT area.

Taking taxi from airport only cost about 300b (inclusive of highway 75b). If clear customer 430pm should be able to avoid traffic jam before 5pm cos can get with central area within 30min cos airport to city only less than 30km nia nia. If you meet road traffic jam, you will also meet human traffic jam when you changeover city MRT with tonnes of office workers at Asoke and SC cheongsters starting out the night etc. Also if delay by traffic jam maybe another 30min to 1hr extra only and still early for cheong nite away so better option is take taxi.
Comfortable, relaxiing get you started on your 1st day fresher and with more energy to cheong :D
