billp Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 I'm planning to take the ARL City Line from BKK to Ramkhamhaeng, then a taxi to Thonglor soi 8, at around 10:00 on a Sunday morning. Is there any reason why this may not be a good idea? Anyone know where it's best to catch a taxi onto Petchaburi Road from the ARL station?

WilliaminBKK Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 I would take a taxi from the airport at that hour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rheinwiese Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Yep, I would take a cab as well. Cost approx 200 Baht to Thonglor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whybother Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 You would probably catch a cab out the front of Ramkhamhaeng station or maybe the east side of Ramkhamhaeng Rd. The taxi would then turn right onto Petchaburi. It would probably take about 5 minutes to get to Thonglor. Have a look on google maps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theoldgit Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Did exactly that route late on Friday night, Airport Link to Ramkhamhaeng, 30 Baht, walked across the road and picked up a taxi outside the Nasa Vegas hotel to Thonglor, 60 Baht, very quick and easy. Would have caught a cab from the airport but it was busy with many flights arriving, including my packed A380, the taxi rank was heaving and due to the late hour, 23.50, there appeared to be no taxis dropping off. I caught the Airport Link at 00.00, probably the last one of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billp Posted January 30, 2011 Author Share Posted January 30, 2011 Thanks very much, theolddigit, that's exactly what I wanted to know. To the others: (1) no, I don't want to take a taxi all the way because I want to experiment with using the ARL, and (2) of course I looked on Google Maps and other, much better maps (because I actually consider Google Maps a steaming pile of inaccurate codswallop). I wanted to see if there was anyone here who had actually tried it - and there was, so thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I wanted to see if there was anyone here who had actually tried it". You should have mentioned that in your OP next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
