Today's Bangkok MRT trivia question

[christianpfc]

So far, you flew under my radar. But here is something I can easily verify or falsify:

I'm wondering if any other poster is able to answer the following question:
At which Bangkok MRT station(s) and between which levels is there a prerecorded apology "Sorry to keep you waiting" made in the lift? The supplementary question is: In which direction of travel is the announcement made? Up, down or both?

The answer is - Silom MRT when you take the lift between the station concourse and the overhead walkway to Saladaeng BTS. On the way up - no apology. On the way down (but I think only if you call the lift up from the concourse) - apology. I thought it an easy-peasy question (except for your average sex tourist, and even then they're the mass-transit stations most likely), but apparently not

And I did so on Friday. There is no such announcement from 2 to B1 or from B1 to 2 (skipping G in both cases). The announcement in the lift is something like "Going up/down. At ... level." At quite low volume, while the doors are open you can't understand anything for the noise from outside, and while doors are closed you have to pay attention to what is said to understand.

Then I found there is another lift from B1 to B3, but didn't repeat there. If you mean that lift, please specify from which to which level.

However, there is another recent (could have been end of last year, I don't walk there that often) change on the walkway/skywalk to BTS. When you come from the lift and walk above Silom road. Can you, frequent, name that change? And don't tell us you've gone blind, that's cndmatt's schtick.

Did I read this correctly? You actually went down to the MRT station to check this out? Really? It didn't occur to you that he might just be throwing up some random shit to see who would lick it up, as you did? Honestly, are you all that easy? The fact that you actually bothered to verify and "falsify" (sic) his bait must have him laughing all the way to his Troll Cave. I'm sure he doesn't care that you caught him out. His mission was accomplished when you read his post and took it seriously instead of rolling your eyes and clicking over it; it became a huge success when you actually went down to the MRT site.

The Book of Common Prayer has a Collect that includes the phrase "read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest". Native English speakers would have recognised that the qualifier "but only, I think" to be an acknowledgement that it does not happen all the time

I'm guessing you're talking about the bank of lock-up left-luggage lockers. My only comment is that they seem to work intermittently since I've walked past several times of an afternoon only to see some technician with his computer out fixing some problem or other, so I certainly wouldn't be trusting anything of mine of any value to them. Oh, and further but irrelevant detail - they're on the right-hand side as you're walking from Saladaeng BTS station, before you turn right and head for the MRT lifts

Anything else I can help you with?
