Got an email this morning from a friend in Bangkok letting me know that they're doing trial runs os the BTS extension from the Phayathai station to the airport from 07:00-10:00 and then 1600-19:00, Monday through Friday (during this June/July/August trial period).
He said there would be a luggage check-in system for the express line ("only stops at two stations, the airport and one in the city", whatever that means - probably Phayathai?) but I wonder just how that's supposed to work. They'd have to keep elevators working and people would have to be traveling light, I guess.
Does anyone on the ground there have any further info on this? My friend there is off on a vacation and I won't hear from him again for a while.
I'm just lazy enough to enjoy the ease of a taxi into town, but might try it some time.
