About Hua Mak ARL Station

The main reason to know this station is the sky bridge. On a map it looks like a hike between here and Hua Mak on the MRT Yellow Line, but it's about 400 meters and under ten minutes on foot, all covered. That makes this one of the more useful transfer points in eastern Bangkok if you're heading out to Suvarnabhumi or in toward Phaya Thai.

The station itself is elevated, big and simple to navigate, and generally clean inside. The trains are another matter, and the outsides of the carriages get called filthy often enough that it's clearly not a one-off. The bigger gripe is maintenance, with token machines out of order for weeks at a time, elevators not running. If you're wheeling a suitcase or traveling with someone who can't manage stairs, plan for the possibility of no elevator rather than assuming one.

these heights were built for us to see a snapshot of the view birds command & spend a commute committed to vertigo

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.

Not maintained. Token machines broken for weeks. Elevators not working. All pictures taken on the same morning.
