As the clock strikes midnight and the vibrant fireworks illuminate the skyline, the pulsating heart of Bangkok beats even stronger. On this joyous occasion, a delightful announcement from Bangkok Mass Transit System Plc and Krungthep Thanakom Ltd – the proud operators of our beloved BTS Skytrain – sets the stage for an extended jubilation into the night. The revelry knows no bounds as the extension of the service hours embraces the Green Line, featuring both the Sukhumvit and Silom routes, and the shimmering Gold Line monorail that threads through the city’s gleaming vistas.
Imagine the sheer convenience! As you indulge in the gala festivities and countdown cheers, Kharom, the voice of our transit communication, assures that the last BTS train will embrace the night, chugging away from the starting stations of each route at the magical hour of 2am on January 1st. Departing from the beating heart of Siam station at 2:24am, the trains will journey towards every station, like starlight scattering across Bangkok’s nocturnal canvas. For all eager passengers, the train timetable will be gleaming on ‘THE SKYTRAINs’ application and beaming from the bright faces of ticket booths.
And for the night owls roosting their vehicles in anticipation of a night to remember, the park and ride facility at Mo Chit BTS station throws open its doors for a 24-hour marathon, embracing New Year’s Eve and New Year Day. Convenience and joy intertwined, setting the stage for memories without the hassle of time.
Our caped crusader for travel comfort, Airports of Thailand (AOT), leaps into the festive fray, heralding a grand gesture of waving parking fees like a magical wand. From the whisper of December 29th’s midnight, till the curtain falls on January 1st’s final tick, your chariots can rest at ease at Suvarnabhumi, Don Mueang, and Phuket airports without a single baht departing from your wallets.
No less impressive is the free parking fortress at Suvarnabhumi Airport’s Zone C—a haven for 718 carriages—and Don Mueang Airport’s warehouse with two- and five-storey parking majesties, sheltering up to 250 steel steeds. Whisked away by free shuttle buses, passengers will be the esteemed guests of the terminals, as they are ferried with utmost care.
In the island pearl of Phuket, the airport’s head office parking lot joins the ranks, offering its tarmac gratis during this period of cheer. Although the chariot shuttle service may be a holiday vision not realized, the joy of free parking is no less diminished.
Behold, as the city of angels, Bangkok, transforms the mundane into the exceptional, ensuring that your every step into the New Year is light, joyful, and wrapped in the spirit of boundless celebration.
