It's good that it's a success. And for 45 THB a great deal.
But, I can't believe how horribly conceived the design was. Did they plan to never run at capacity?
2lovelife - You are absolutely correct. At Phaya Thai there is no room for the pax to disembark. All available space on the narrow platform is taken by waiting pax. One can forget about ever getting a seat, for the 30 minute journey. However the price is right - 45 THB - and the train is air conditioned.
