Excellent. Next improvement is for it all to become clear what the surplus space at Makkasan is for. A sleeping space for 5,000 backpacking skytrain fans?

It's overflow accommodation for the next time the People Against Democracy shut down the airport.

That URL doesn't work for me, kommentariat. And on the Coconut site can only find an article from June writing about the intention to open a link.
However, I've found this on the Bangkok Post site:

>>>>A skywalk linking the Airport Rail Link's Makkasan station to the MRT underground's Phetchaburi station is now open.
The skywalk is on the second floor, where passengers are instructed to use Exit 1 of the Makkasan station of Airport Rail Link.
Passengers using Airport Rail Link from Suvarnbhumi airport can also connect to the BTS Skytrain by getting off at Ratchaprarop station and using a second skywalk to get on BTS's Phayathai station.>>>>>
