Former City Air Terminal


Makkasan is the largest station on the Airport Rail Line connecting Suvarnabhumi Airport with downtown Bangkok. It was envisioned as a city air terminal where passengers could check into outgoing flights and connect to the public transportation network in Bangkok. In reality, the terminal was rarely used[1] due to its inconvenient location and lack of connections to other public transportation. Access to the terminal was via one crowded road and when leaving the terminal traffic must go in a direction that makes getting to the popular Sukhumvit and Silom areas time-consuming and inconvenient.[2]
