Be aware that the 15 minute Express Train does not go to or from Phaya Thai and terminates at Makkasan. The train from/to Phaya Thai stops at all the stations along the route and takes 30 minutes.
Makkasan is not connected to the BTS nor the MRT either.
The hassle of getting the BTS to Phaya Thai then getting on another train for 30 minutes isn't worth it for me to save 100thb so I will continue to use a taxi.

It looks Fisher Price in comparison to Hong Kong's airport link which I use frequently. Perhaps the Express Train carriages are better furnished.
