Get ready, urban navigators and savvy commuters of the Red and Blue line trains! A delightful twist in your daily travel saga has just unfolded. You may want to bid farewell to the vexing quest for elusive parking spaces and the eye-watering fees that often accompany them because the State Railway of Thailand (SRT) has just rolled out a treat that’s bound to have you grinning from ear to ear!
Behold, the underground car park of the bustling Krung Thep Aphiwat Central Terminal is now not just a mundane concrete jungle of parking bays but a treasure trove of savings and convenience for the discerning train passenger. Starting on this fine day, you can whisk your beloved vehicle into the subterranean haven and bask in the glory of free parking for the first 30 golden minutes. That’s right, folks—you can park, sprint to your train, and not spend a single baht! 😮
But let’s dive deeper into the numbers that are sure to make your pocketbook rejoice. Stay a tad longer—maybe for a coffee or a swift errand perhaps—and enjoy parking rates that are so low, you’d think they were a misprint. From the 31st minute up to the 2nd hour mark, it’s a meager 15 baht. Decide to linger up to 4 hours? That’s just a 30 baht note. And there’s more!
- Need up to 6 hours? That’ll be 45 baht, friend.
- Got errands for 8 hours? Just 60 baht.
- Working away for a 10-hour stint? A mere 75 baht.
- Tackling a full 12-hour conquest? Only 90 baht!
- Heroically endearing a 14-hour marathon? 105 baht is your magic number.
- Surviving a whopping 16 hours out there? 120 baht keeps your steed stabled.
- Enduring an 18-hour epic? You’re shelling out just 135 baht.
- And if your quest keeps you gallivanting for anything less than 24 hours, your grand total caps at a modest 150 baht.
And here’s the secret spell to unlock these mystical rates: simply present your tickets or preloaded cards at the glistening e-stamp kiosks which await your presence from 6 in the morning till the clock strikes midnight.
Of course, compassionate and inclusive as ever, the car park also extends its welcome to the general populace. Those without the golden ticket of train travel start at 30 baht for the first two hours, and can reach up to 210 baht for a full day’s stay. Or, for an even slicker move, seize the monthly pass for a flat rate of 1,500 baht and make parking woes a thing of the past.
The lair for your chariot boasts space for 1,624 mechanical steeds plus an extra 20 for knights in shining wheelchairs, all under the vigilant gaze of 24-hour surveillance and trusty security guards. Rest assured, your vehicle is in noble hands.
Before you embark on your next urban expedition, outwit the chaotic game of parking chance by consulting the JUDJOD app or ringing up the customer service hotline at 1690 to confirm your very own spot in this metropolitan oasis.
So rejoice, fair citizens of the rails, for the gods of commute have bestowed a gift upon thee—play your cards right and you may never fret over parking again!
