Bangkok airport rail link

I've been interested in Bangkok's New Airport Link train system that launched in August 2010. It's also called Bangkok Airport Train or something like that. Today I used it from the airport. There were the red line and the blue line. I chose the red one which able to non-stop access between Suvarnabhumi (Thai: สุวรรณภูมิ) station and Makkasan (Thai: มักกะสัน). It took about 15 minutes. Suvarnabhumi station is located on the underground floor of the airport. Makkasan station is located in the sort of city center. It's the last stop of the red line and is also an interchange station to Phetchaburi (Thai: เพชรบุรี) station of MRT (a.k.a. Bangkok Metro). The stations had lifts, escalators and so on. Fabulous.
