Bangkok MRT Pink Line SkyTrain is an elevated monorail train system connecting Nonthaburi and Min Buri in northern Bangkok. The newly opened Pink Line expanded the network of skytrains and metro in Bangkok by connecting the northern part of the city and making it much more reachable from different areas of Thailand's capital city.

The Bangkok MRT Pink Line, or Northern Bangkok Monorail, is a newly opened cross-city link connecting northern areas of Bangkok.

The MRT Pink Line is designed to accommodate travel demand in northern Bangkok between the Min Buri district and Nonthaburi. The entire length of the MRT Pink Line contains the distance of 34.5 kilometers.

The MRT Pink Line route starts near Nonthaburi Civic Center, where the first station is connected to the MRT Purple Line. The route heads along Tiwanon Road to the Pak Kret section, then turns right and heads along Chaeng Watthana Road, passing Muang Thong Thani, the government complex, and the Lak Si intersection, where it is connected to the SRT Red Line. After crossing Don Muang Tollway, the route heads along Ramindra Road and interchanges with the BTS SkyTrain Green Line at Wat Pra Sri Mahathat station. Then, the route continues along Ramindra Road, crossing Chalong Rat Expressway, and passes Min Buri intersection before reaching terminal station at Ramkhamhaeng-Rom Klao intersection, where in the future passengers will be able to connect to the MRT Orange Line, which is still under construction.

MRT Pink Line connections

MRT Pink Line doesn’t pass the city center and other areas frequently visited by tourists, but you might still find it useful during your visit if you will be going to the northern part of the city to watch Muay Thai fights at Lumpinee Boxing Stadium, to take a flight from Don Mueang Airport, or to extend your visa at Bangkok Immigration.

Even if the Pink Line is MRT and it connects with the Purple Line of the original MRT system, it is not a fully integrated part of the MRT metro system, so ticketing for this line is separate, and you won't be able to change trains without getting a new ticket.

MRT Pink Line Tickets

Bangkok MRT Pink Line SkyTrain tickets for a single journey can be purchased at ticket-issuing machines. You need Thai Baht coins or banknotes for buying a ticket.

At the MRT Pink Line SkyTrain station, tickets can only be purchased for stations within the line, and you will need to buy another ticket at the MRT, BTS, or SRT station for transferring to another Bangkok city train line.

To simplify things, you can purchase a Rabbit Card that can be topped up and used for traveling not only with the MRT Pink Line SkyTrain but also with the BTS SkyTrain and MRT Yellow Line. Rabbit cards can be bought at any MRT Pink Line, Yellow Line, or BTS Station ticket office. The Rabbit card can also be conveniently picked up at the airport by booking online here: Rabbit Card online.

Rabbit Card

EMV contactless cards (credit cards or debit cards that have the contactless payment symbol) can also be used to pay for MRT Pink Line fares if they are the following:

  • Credit cards from all banks, both Thai and foreign, issued under VISA or Mastercard
  • Debit cards from all foreign banks issued under VISA or Mastercard
  • Debit/prepaid cards of Thai banks KTB and UOB only, issued under VISA or Mastercard

Bangkok MRT Pink Line Ticket Price

Bangkok MRT Yellow Line SkyTrain ticket prices depend on the distance and can be from 15 THB to 45 THB for a single journey between the stations on the line.

While most of Bangkok's city train lines calculate the fare by the number of stations, the MRT Pink Line ticket price policy introduced on 1 February 2024 seems to be different, as the same number of stations traveled in different parts of the line can cost differently.

When testing the MRT Pink Line fare calculator, the journey of 3 stations cost 25-28 THB, 4 stations - 27-30 THB, 5 stations - 29-34 THB, while the maximum fare of 45 THB was calculated for 10 stations and more.

To know the exact fare of your trip, use the MRT Pink Line fare calculator.
