Thanks, Randy For the answer for question 1, you can check this posting. http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/Airport-Rail...ed-t270319.html For question, somebody else will answer it. For question 3, it is currently $1.00 USD for B34 THB. For future currency exchange rate, nobody can answer it for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noahvail Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I read the OP's questions and realized that all three would best be answered by a fortune teller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neverdie Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I would say you have 2 chances of getting 40 baht to the USD in November......BUCKLEYS AND NONE! If your lucky it may stay close to the 34 mark.....USPAESO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crossy Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 I was hoping the rail link would be operational when Im back at new year - can't wait til I can avoid using taxis to/from soo-wanna-poom. March - April is current thinking IF SRT manage to get an operating company that the unions are happy with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubba Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Here is what might be considered a more or less definitive link: http://www.angkor.com/2bangkok/2bangkok/fo...hread.php?t=195 Postings are there from people working in and around the rail link project. Go to the most recent couple of pages a total of 46 pages of postings on the subject now!) for some nice photos of what the Makkasan terminal looks like, as well as some photos from inside the trains. The terminal actually looks nearly complete, with even the fare machines in place in one of the photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
