.. Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 Basically, off Ramkhamheang between Petchburi & Rama 9. Do you remember the old Nasa Spacedrome discoteque? It was torn down to make way for this station. Cheers, SD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelseafan Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 I wonder what the taxi mafia will be doing to stop this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffalo_bill Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 Thank you , inconvenient with loads of luggage but maybe acceptable if arriving at the airport Friday afternoon . Looking at the location I wish to withdraw my question about local sanuk . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khunsanuk Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 Hi, SD, are you sure? Makkasan is the extension of Sukhumvit soi 3 as far as I know. I think this station is located at the Petchburi MRTA station. In between Rama IX and New Petchuri Rd, certainly, but quite a bit away from Ramkhamhaeng. And if that bloody big building isn't the new station, then what is it? Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.. Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 Pretty sure KS. Makkasan police district is over by Bangkok General Hospital and the old train yard is near there too. There is a further station as you describe, to link the Airport Train to the subway, but that's not the main one with the check-in counters AFAIK. I could be wrong, but I don't think so. Cheers, SD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.. Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 Looks like Makkasan district is bigger than I thought. Further research appears to show: 1) City Air Terminal at New Makkasan Station (interchange with Petchburi MRT, making KS correct) 2) Depot at Klong Tan Station (near RCA, the location I referenced) Other stations appear to be: Ratchaprarop station Phyathai station Ramindra station Huamak station Ban Tap Chang station Lad Krabang station Suvarnabhumi station Cheers, SD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mekong Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 There will probably be a hell of a lot more when the CAT opens, a constant supply of punters arriving for the freelancers to latch onto as soon as they hit BKK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
