The train was passing under the Airport Link- very convenient if you live near the BTS.  Airport Link is also cheap.  High recommended if you don't have bulky luggages.

I'm back.  After going away for a few days, I returned to technical difficulty so I was unable to post any photos.  Now that the technical issue has been fixed, I'm back.  Back with the local parade and a real school band.
