MRT Transportation of Bangkok

City : Bangkok (Krung Thep), Thailand
MRT : Mass Rapid Transit

Thanks to MRT, It is very convenient to move within Bangkok city.
MRT has two operated Line that are Purple Line and Blue Line.
Passengers can transfer the Lines in Tao poon Station.

I look back on use when I stayed in 2018.

  Purple Line  

The line is an elevated railway connecting between Bangkok suburb and metropolitan area.  So, the view from the car window can be seen.

This is one of the terminal station on the line.
The view towards Bangkok city from this platform is recommended.
There is Chao Phraya River pier "Wat Soi Thong" within walking distance from here.  I got on the boat from the pier.

 Attention 

This time, I took photos and videos on the platform and in the train.
It was a fun time and was not felt the time passage.

And a problem happened when I through the ticket gate.
An error occurred in the automatic ticket gate.

Ratchada Rot Fai Night Market is in near the station exit.
This station is crowded with tourists from the evening on.

 Sukhumvit 

It is near Asoke intersection on Sukhumvit Rd.
It is very crowded because there are shopping facilities such as Terminal21 around this area. About 9:00 pm, it took time to pass the ticket gate of this station.
I regretted to have got off at this station in this time span.

It is one of the nearest station for Chatuchak Weekend Market.
A little walk should be needed to the market.
