We'll be arriving in the morning, I imagine there's a morning rush-hour as well?

If so, would it thn be best to go to Bangkok City Air Terminal (Makkasan Station) and walk to MRT Petchaburi Station? HERE's a Google map of the area. I am not too concerned about crossing streets, we're pro pedestrians

I'm leaning in this direction, seems faster too, and just one intersection to cross, or so it looks like on the map and using Google Street View.
