zzSleepyJohn Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Does anyone know if Saphan Kwai station has a lift? As an old codger I'll be coming on my own with heavy luggage and it will be difficult to manage it all at one go on steps or even on an escalator. Tks.

richsilver Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Escalator yes, but I've not seen a lift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lakegeneve Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 This page http://www.bts.co.th/customer/en/02-route-area.aspx gives you an area view of every BTS station so that you can check which stations have what and where the facilities are located. http://www.bts.co.th/customer/en/images/area-map/N7_update.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I've checked the latest (2012) Google Street View for Saphan Kwai and can't see any lift entrance. Also when I look at this page there's a list of stations not including Saphan Kwai where there are lifts, so richsilver is probably right after all.

I didn't say that there was a lift at Saphan Kwai, there isn't as you had already been informed. I just wanted you to know how to get an area map of each station so that you know how to find out for yourself. Standing in a lift??? Can't see that in that image. That is the image for the two Muster points. That listed is clearly listed in the key for the map, did you actually bother to check??? If you had had a look at other station area maps you'd see that the lift symbol is a grey box with a white cross in it. At least you'll know what to look for and where to find it next time to you need to know which stations have lifts - of course contacting a staff member to come & open it for you is another issue.

beechguy Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Why not just take a taxi and be done with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzSleepyJohn Posted June 20, 2014 Author Share Posted June 20, 2014 (edited) Why not just take a taxi and be done with it?Costs money, that's why! [grin] Anyway, too much luxury and pandering to convenience is unhealthy for us personally, and unsustainable on the planet. A bit of hardship within reason is good all round. That's my philosophy! Go ahead and argue this point if anyone likes, but I'm going to be too busy packing that heavy luggage ready for humping it up the Saphan Kwai escalator en route to my departure from LOS next week to have time to defend that philosophy.
