Photos of motive and rolling stock, stations, signals and anything else train related to Asia and the Middle East! Photos should be 800x600 pixels, maximum size 130K. Very good ones will be moved to the Online Gallery, the rest will be pruned away after 14 days to conserve space.

From the airport international arrivals area, once customs has finally been cleared, passengers follow the signs and go down a number of escalators to the ticket office and turnstiles. The link is connected to the local BTS skytrain service, so one can change over at certain points to another domestic route. There is an express service non stop costing 100BHT at present, but we rode the all stops at 15 BHT price. These are all introductory fares.
