tezzainoz Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 (edited) I have a friend arriving from the Phillipines and they will land at the Big Air port They will then catch the airport all stops sky train to Playa Thai Station where I will meet them Hoping some one can help me with information on this station and a good place for them to go so we can meet. I have only once gone from the station to the airport my self but the memory has faded. never used it on a return trip. As I came in on Sky train to this station, at this time, if I remember correct the normal sky train comes in on a lower level and the Airport train is on a higher level. is this correct or not? I am sure there is only one entrance and exit to the airport platform, can some one correct me on this what I am looking for is something close to the exit from the platform, where I can stand, where this person who speaks no Thai, I can tell them to look for, and go to, need to be close to the airport platform exit next to the ticket machine's Or maybe a large poster on the wall, etc etc any help with this will be appreciated Edited June 30, 2014 by tezzainoz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trembly Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 How about Exit 1? There is always an Exit 1 in every station and there can only be one in any station . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMG in thailand if you ask someone exit one he will think you travel alone ( just 1 person) I think we need something a little more certain than that In Thailand if you ask someone where exit 1 is, they will think that you want to know where exit 1 is. If you fail to ask them in a way that they can understand, they may think you're asking about something else. Yes, it's actually from the BTS. You're welcome.

WhizBang Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Tell your friend to head towards the BTS station. It is physically separate from the Airport train station, but connected by a short walkway. As there is only one connecting walkway, it seems like a good spot to meet. Not sure what the exit number from the airport train is though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cnx355 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 If you are in Bangkok, take the Skytrain and go visit the Phaya Thai Station and the access to the Airport Rail Link. You will be able to find yourself a meeting point that you can describe to your arriving friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTS is at a lower height above the road than the airport train (a completely irrelevant fact). Have your friend follow the signs to BTS. If I recall, no left or right turn when you come down the escalator, just straight on to the BTS station. If you are in Bangkok, go and see for yourself. Otherwise try google. Should be lots of photos on the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think that the signs have a different design for every station? Do you know how to use your eyes and walk? If it is really so difficult for you, why don't you print out that picture and show the staff when you get there?

I am not in Bkk I am in Kalasin, so thank you for the idea but it is useless in my case and by the time I get there it will be to late to to send them an email as they will already be in the plane on their way to Bangers Tried google this was my first try, but no photos But if you know of some I would appreciate a link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldnguy Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 I think the train currently only goes as far as Makkasan, not Phaya Thai. I read that that part is closed for 12 months for renovations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quicker getting that than waiting ages for the Express train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lancashirelad Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 (edited) Suggest arrange to meet on the walkway near the beginning of it. i.e. At the Airport Rail link end. Be specific about whether you will stand to their left or right side. If they just wait a few minutes after a train arrives for the crowd to disperse there won't be so many people on the ww and you will be easy to spot. There are several photos of the walkway on Tripadvisor but it seems TA will not allow links direct to the pics.
