midas Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 It does try your patience sometimes to put up with either deliberate misinformation ( to benefit the taxi trade ?? ) or just poor communication /organisation...................... This morning THREE young employees from the Tourist Authority who sit at a desk at Hua Lamphong station told me emphatically that the Airport bus express to Suvarnabhumi no longer goes from Hua Lamphong station ? Luckily I wasn't travelling today - I was just making sure where it departs from. They told me I needed to go back to Silom to catch it - adding a comment that most people catch taxis !! I wonder who put them up to saying that ?!! I said I didn't want to catch a taxi and could they please advise where in Silom I should stand to catch the airport express bus ? They said I needed to ask someone at Silom when I got back there. Does anyone know from previous experience categorically where in Silom to catch this thing ?

Fielder Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 I got a list of bus stops from this forum somewhere. Some of the major stops on the Silom line are; Montien Hotel , Tawana Ramada hotel, Plaza Hotel, Lertsin Hospital, Narai Hotel, Sofitel Hotel, BTS Saladeng Station Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your with 2, a taxi will work out same price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
