The Suvarnabhumi Airport Rail Link (Thai: รถไฟฟ้าเชื่อมท่าอากาศยานสุวรรณภูมิ, แอร์พอร์ตลิงก์ Airport Link) or SARL, is a rapid transit line in Bangkok, Thailand. The line provides as an airport rail link from Suvarnabhumi Airport, via Makkasan city air terminal, to Phaya Thai station in central Bangkok. Most of the line is on a viaduct over the main eastern railway. It is owned by State Railway of Thailand (SRT) and operated by SRT subsidiary SRT Electrified Train (SRTET). Opened on August 23, 2010[1], the 28.6-km route is the fourth rapid transit line in Bangkok, after 2 BTS and 1 MRT line. Services consists of two Express Lines, a 15-minute nonstop service between the Makkasan city air terminal and the airport and an 18-minute nonstop service between Phaya Thai and the airport, and the City Line, a commuter rail service with 8 stations. Inexplicably the SRT decided to build the biggest station on the airport express line with no direct connect to the skytrain, underground or even a bus. Road access is lousy as well! As such when I took this shot at 9pm I was out-numbered by station employees who were eager to tell me that using a tripod was forbidden. Too late!
