The elevated airport-link station is big and spacious but the parking space is very limited. Since a lot of people park their car here to take a train to town for work, you might find it difficult to get a parking space after 9 AM on a weekday. No public toilets here, and only one tea kiosk here.
Despite it looks quite far from the MRT Hua Mak (on Yellow line), the actual distance is about 400m and it takes less than 10 minutes on foot to travel between the two stations via a sky bridge. The Hua Mak ARL is big and easy to navigate, and catch the train to the airport or to Phaya Thai.
Tips for Visiting Transportation
Take the Sleeper Train at Least Once
The Bangkok-to-Chiang Mai overnight train in a second-class sleeper berth is a bucket-list experience. Book at least a week ahead via 12Go.asia or at Hua Lamphong station. Upper berths are cheaper and have more headroom; lower berths have a window.
Use Grab Everywhere
Grab is the Uber of Southeast Asia and works across Thailand for cars, motorbike taxis, and even tuk-tuks in some cities. It eliminates haggling and provides fare estimates upfront. Load a Thai SIM or use eSIM to stay connected.
Rent Scooters Carefully
Always photograph the scooter's existing damage before riding off, and keep your passport — give a photocopy instead (some shops insist on the original; avoid these). Wear a helmet; police fine 500 THB for no helmet and accidents without one void insurance.
