It's definitely better psychologically to be on the move on ARL & BTS than sitting on the Tollway for 30 mins waiting to get down to Ploenchit I suppose. 2 people save about $5 if they walk to their hotel to/from BTS. I am quite fit and was carrying just a smallish backpack & I still found it a pain in the *ss. Is it any better to get off at Makkasan and jump on MRT ?
To Asok? Aboslutely! Mrs d2 doesn't care for that route but it's much quicker in my book... and less hassle with the newish flyover.
