Follow the signs to the outside of the airport concourse, you can see the stop sign of the airport bus, according to the guidance on the Little Red Book, we wait for the A1 line bus to take the Mo chit station and then change to the Skytrain. This can't be called an airport bus, you can only call an airport bus bus, 30 baht per person, again glad I have 81 baht of zero coin.

It's hot outside, but the bus is very cool, and looking out the window, a familiar scene comes into view. Thinking about coming before, I was directly taking a taxi, which was too wasteful of money.

When we arrived at the terminal, dumbfounded, I thought that the terminal station could be directly connected to the Sky Rail, but it turned out that it was not, just arrived at the bus terminal in the urban area, continued to take out Google Map to search for directions, the navigation showed that we need to walk 1 km, and then take the bus to reach the Sky Rail Station, well, let's go, drag the suitcase that is not heavy, walk, it's too hot, and after a while I sweated, finally came to the bus starting station, ran to the ticket window, Holding the station displayed on the mobile phone and asking the service staff how to buy tickets, as a result, the eldest brother sitting behind the ticket window looked at me blankly, looking at his eyes, I understood, he did not understand English, he kept pointing to the bus, I could only thank you and walked to the bus to try my luck.

First get on the bus and then say, soon after sitting down, people came up one after another, and I saw that the conductor wearing a uniform and carrying a cross-body bag on the bus in our country in the 80s began to buy tickets, and when she walked next to me, I still took out my mobile phone to tell her the station I was going to, asked how much money, she directly took out the ticket stub, it turned out to be a ticket system, 14 baht, I rummaged through the wallet, the minimum denomination is only 500 baht, very embarrassed to give it to her, she looked at my money in surprise, and then turned around, silently first to collect the money of all the people in the car, Walking back to me, he helplessly took out his wallet and gave me the change.

500 baht to find me change

My companion laughed at me, saying that I took such a large amount of money to take the bus, it was too embarrassing for people, hey, I couldn't help it, I really didn't have change. A little embarrassing. After a few stops, I still can't figure out which station we go to, the Google Map's station shows a delay, there is only a Thai newspaper station on the bus, I really don't know which station we should be at, we can only find the conductor and ask her to call us. Finally, when she called us, we got off the bus, only to find that we still got off one stop early, there is still one stop away from the skytrain, the distance is 1.5 kilometers, we can only walk, hey.

Hot, still hot, but after passing through the Chada Chacha market, we went in and strolled, there was nothing we liked to eat, and continued to pour water fiercely, looking for the sky rail.

Finally arrived, the companion sighed, said that the last time I came to Bangkok with the group, I have not experienced the transportation of the locals, this time I am estimated to feel it again, I laughed, said what is the meaning of travel, is to feel the unknown of everything, face challenges at any time.

Beautiful Sky Rail

There is no change, you can only go to the manual counter to buy tickets, all foreigners and old, weak, sick and disabled people line up, show the station displayed on the mobile phone to tell the laborer, pay to get the card, in fact, the sky rail is quite expensive, 40 baht per person at every turn, the starting price is too expensive. According to the station on the skytrain, we successfully arrived next to the hotel and followed the navigation exit walk.

The navigation did not know what route to guide, and led us to the river, along the way, I saw a group of people singing tickets together, and contacted the Thai little sister WeChat to know that it was the Thai election in those days, and this way of counting votes made the people feel quite fair. There was a section of the road in front of the blockade, just a group of people playing volleyball, we were at a loss, one of the men in his 30s came over, very good English pronunciation, asked us where to go, I told him, he instructed us how to get around, the smile was very cute, we walked companions while sighing that this little brother English pronunciation is good, I said that people's eight-pack abs are very handsome, the companion almost died of laughter, saying that I only paid attention to eight-pack abs.

It was getting dark, we walked along the river, there was always a familiar feeling, but I was not sure, just like that, finally arrived at the hotel, put down the luggage, the companion lay down, how to move, at this time, there was a sound of pouring rain outside the window, we both sighed, luck is really good. #Travel Guide##Thailand##Travel##Independent Travel##City Transportation##Bus#
