I suppose the question refers to the senior passenger fare for Bangkok MRT. Yes, whether a local or foreigner, aged 60 and above, can buy an elder ticket with 50% discount. I would advise you to bring along your passport in case you are asked to prove your age. My wife and I have travelled on MRT several times by means of elder tickets. My wife was asked for document to prove her age once and I have never been asked. My wife took this approach as a compliment rather than a query. Therefore, I suggest those senior ladies, who spend a fortune on keeping their young look, think twice if it is advisable to give "constructive notice" of their age for a token concession. BIG SMILE !

Can you translate this, please ?

There is no MRT from Nana, I'm afraid. Considering you posted a question about MRT. Your options are: -BTS Sukhumvit Line to Phaya Thai, change there to Airport Rail Link; or: -BTS BTS Sukhumvit Line to Asoke, change there to Airport Rail Link. The latter will need you walking a bit to the ARL, as the stations are not directly next to each other. So if I where you, I'd go for option one. Also, Phaya Thai is the first stop of ARL. Which can be advantage for getting seats instead of standing. ARL is notorious for overcrowding during rush hour. Depending on what time you're leaving, a taxi can be an option. But it's still about 45-60 minutes by car.

You have to travel in a big " C" direction and change trains and lines and involving walking between connections as the distance in a direct line is around 1km a cab (always get a price first) should only be around 100 bhat train for two would cost about 40 bhat

Everywhere. Just look at a map. Then compare it to the MRT subway

Hi, when you leave the MRT or BTS, you have to drop the token into the turnstile which means you need to get another one to do another journey Google the hotel name then see what station is closer to it. Met vriendelike groete uit Zuid Afrika ...

For all trips within Thailand from Don or Swampy airports there are several ways to travel. The easiest and most expensive is to take a Taxi from the airport. The next is to take MRT and a Train and a Bus. I dont recommend TukTuk or Songthaew unless it is a very short distance and you know where you are going (scammers) - if you have google maps on smartphone show them and they will know to go straight there. Besides researching on the net beforehand of course - contact the Hotel you are staying at and asking them. At the airport look for the Thailand Tourist Authority Counter - they speak English and will help with advice. Be aware that if you ask a Thai a question they will either walk away or try to answer - whether they know or not (loss of face issue). Always get 2-3 pieces of advice when asking general public people where to go. I dont anymore - even the Thai wife gets incorrect information. By the way - trains are OK - but some local trip buses are non-aircon and very very hot. OK for the locals, but be careful. For the longer trips they are usually air-con and usually working. When at a local bus stop and an old clunker shows up, sometimes the next bus can be one with air-con, so sometimes best to just wait.

There are new sky train project under construction works and which will connects to Dumouang International Airport and Bangkok thus new part of Bangkok can seen then. Actually, MRT is running underground and BTS is skyway but you can see the Bangkok from both. thanks
