Starting June 17, 2025, passengers traveling on the newly extended section of Bangkok’s Pink Line monorail, between Muang Thong Thani Station and Talay Muang Thong Thani Station, will be required to pay fares ranging from 15 to 23 baht. This ends a free trial period that began on May 20, aimed at familiarizing the public with the new service.
For those connecting to the main route of the Pink Line, which runs between Khae Rai and Min Buri, the total fare will start at 15 baht and reach a maximum of 45 baht. The fare collection marks the next step in integrating the 2.8-kilometer extension into the broader transit network managed by the Mass Rapid Transit Authority of Thailand (MRTA) and operated by Northern Bangkok Monorail Co., Ltd.
Officials reported a smooth trial period overall, with only minor issues observed. One challenge arose during late-night events at IMPACT Muang Thong Thani, where some passengers arrived after train services had ended. As a result, event organizers have been asked to conclude performances before midnight to allow attendees to catch the last trains. Authorities noted that extending service hours past midnight would create complications for passengers trying to connect with other lines that do not operate as late.
Beginning June 17, the Pink Line extension will operate daily from 6:00 a.m. to midnight. On weekdays, trains will run every five minutes during peak hours and every ten minutes during off-peak times. Weekend services will maintain a ten-minute interval. Additional trains may be added during large-scale events at IMPACT Muang Thong Thani, with three scheduled trains already set aside for this purpose.
Passenger data collected during the trial phase from May 20 to June 16 showed a peak ridership of 23,159 on May 31—coinciding with the final day of the THAIFEX – Anuga Asia 2025 trade exhibition. On most days, ridership ranged from 6,000 to 7,000 passengers, below the projected average of 13,000. Authorities acknowledged that usage remains tied to events at Muang Thong Thani and emphasized the need for time and strategies to build regular commuter habits.
The elevated extension begins at Chaeng Watthana Road, branching off from the main Pink Line at Muang Thong Thani Station. It follows Chaeng Watthana–Pak Kret 39 Road alongside the Udon Ratthaya Expressway, passing the Muang Thong Thani roundabout, and terminating at Talay Muang Thong Thani Station near the lake. Travelers from the main line must transfer trains at Muang Thong Thani Station to access the extension.
Officials from the MRTA and Northern Bangkok Monorail, along with transport coordination teams and event organizers, are continuing to monitor service performance and passenger trends as the line transitions to full operations.
