reader Posted Friday at 02:48 AM Posted Friday at 02:48 AM From Bangkok Post The 20-baht flat fare for all electric train lines will become effective from Sept 30, with Thai passengers required to register for the programme via the Tang Rat application, according to Transport Minister Suriya Jungrungreangkit. The policy will allow Thai citizens to travel across all train lines with a maximum fare of 20 baht per trip, regardless of how many lines are used. The flat fare scheme will be available only to Thai citizens, excluding foreign tourists and welfare cardholders, who must continue paying standard fares. https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/3000822/flat-train-fare-set-to-start-from-sept-30 TMax 1 Quote

Last time I tried, as a tourist, I was told it didn't apply to me. Quote

Must be part of amazing Thailand promotion. 🙁 Got my card 18 months ago. Quote
