Bangkok metro MRT Pink Line

The MRT is one of Bangkok's metro operators. The MRT Blue Line was its first line, opened in 2004; since 2016, the network has grown with the Purple, Yellow and Pink lines, and more are planned.

The MRT Pink Line is an elevated monorail, currently 34.5 kilometers long with 30 stations (see map). It runs across the north of Bangkok, from Nonthaburi Civic Center, where it connects with the MRT Purple Line, through Pak Kret district (Nonthaburi) and along the main east-west corridor of Chaeng Wattana and Ram Intra roads to Min Buri district in eastern Bangkok. For tourists, its main interest is that, combined with the Purple Line, it takes you close to Koh Kret island (Yaek Pak Kret station). Since May 20, 2025, a branch with 2 stations (for now) has been running from Muang Thong Thani station (PK10): Impact Muang Thong Thani (handy for the IMPACT Arena, which hosts concerts, fairs and events) and Lake Muang Thong Thani, next to the lake.

There are no tickets for single journeys: instead, you buy black tokens from vending machines that accept coins and banknotes (the counters mainly provide information, but also sell tokens). The fare depends on the length of your journey. On the touch-screen machines, a network map lets you choose the line by its color and select your destination station; the fare is then calculated according to your route. Don't forget to switch the language to English with the button at the top of the screen – it makes things easier. Then just insert your coins or notes to get your token. At the end of your journey, the exit gate swallows the token to put it back into circulation, so don't lose it!
