reader Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 From Coconuts Bangkok By Nicky Tanskul The MRT Pink Line launched just a few weeks ago, allowing people to commute from Khae Rai all the way to Min Buri. With more stations now available for convenience, and not to mention less traffic jams in places where the stations were constructed, I decided to see what’s worth highlighting if you’re feeling adventurous. This is the second skytrain line to launch this year after the Yellow Line (we also wrote a Yellow Line guide in the wake of its launch, so check that out if you’re still hankering to explore some more of the city). Where? The MRT Pink Line starts from the Nonthaburi Civic Center station on Ratthanthibet road and stretches all the way to Min Buri. The line stretches over 34.5 kilometers and comprises 30 stations. When and how? Trains run from 6am to 10pm. NOT MIDNIGHT like the BTS lines! Fares run from THB15 to THB45. However, the Pink Line is undergoing its trial run period which will end on Jan. 2, 2024. So, in the meantime, all rides aboard the Pink Line are free. How often? A digital display showed trains arriving every 8-10 minutes or so. How fast does it go? This genuine, bonafide and electrified ride feels as fast as an overhead BTS train. But you can hear its Bombardier Innovia Monorail 300’s IGBT inverters kick it up a notch, so be sure to hang on to something.

I intend to try this in January. I tried the yellow line a few months ago, and was impressed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
