Welcome to the bustling streets of Bangkok, where the pulse of the city beats in sync with the rhythmic motion of the BTS Skytrain! It’s an urban adventure that’s about to get even more exciting for the young and the young-at-heart, thanks to a nifty update in fare rates. For the bright-eyed students and bubbly children clutching their vibrant Rabbit cards, the city’s kaleidoscope of sights and sounds just got a sweet deal—travels will now peg back a mere 10 baht. Seniors, with years of wisdom twinkling in their eyes, will flash their Rabbit cards and glide through the gates for a humble 7 baht.
Stretching out like the tendrils of a flourishing tree, the Sukhumvit Line’s extensions beckon travelers. Journey from the humming hub of Bearing to the welcoming arms of Samrong, from the bustling streets of Samrong to the coastal breaths of Kheha in Samut Prakan, and from the ever-busy Ha Yaek Lat Phrao to the northern sanctuary of Khu Khot stations. It’s like a treasure map where X marks the spot on numerous gems of Bangkok!
Not to be outdone, the Silom Line has unfurled its own green carpet, rolling out from the serene Pho Nimit to the lively district of Bang Wa. It’s a line where each stop is a story, each journey an experience.
Amidst all the excitement, the gears of finance and operations never stop turning. The sharp-minded Bangkok deputy governor Wisanu Subsompon unveiled a monetary puzzle, an intricate dance involving around 53 billion baht that’s set to settle into place. The BTS behemoth known as the Bangkok Transit System Corporation has been dutifully operating the Green Line and invigorating it with electrical zest and mechanical muscle.
But hold onto your hats, because here’s the fun twist—in the six years since the extension sections of the Green Line sprang to life, they’ve been playing a bit of hide and seek from the fare system. Now, we’ve finally coaxed them into the fold! With the starting fare as vibrant as a fresh market mango at 17 baht and climbing to the peak of a luxury mall skyscraper at 62 baht, the BTS fare is a thrilling ride from start to finish. So hop on, dear traveler, for the city awaits with open arms and a wealth of stories just for you.
