I was looking at the walk one has to endure from Don Mueang Terminal 2 to the train, then to Bang Sue Central before taking the Mrt to Mo Chit. It would be easier to take Airport Bus A2 to Mo Chit, get down then take the Bts to Central Bangkok. I drove from Ayutthiya a few years back to Rangsit, Vibhadi then to Sukhumvit 16. The actual Bangkok and Pathum Thani.. by the way, Deep Red Line.. Hmm..

Thanks to you Pat I have a much better understanding of the Bangkok area than I did before. After all these years I still get lost in the city and surroundings. Since I returned to Thailand seven months ago I have been at the Bang Sue station at least twenty times and heading back once again in a few days. Can,t say I will miss the old station there.

Until they can get it fully linked to the other ARL line, it still feels a bit clunky to be used as an Airport line for DM. No connection to the Green line BTS and the station that doesn't quite drop you into the terminal I think it's still easier to get an A1/A2 bus at BTS Mo Chit, once those get on the expressway you'll be at the terminal in 15 minutes.
