I remember when the BTS first started in 1999, there were only a handful of stations, no MRT or anything.
Oh wow, it’s come a long way since then. 🙏🏽
n this station, 2 nd floor open electric commuter train call SRT (State Railway of Thailand) Electrified Dark Red Line (Bangsue to Rangsit or I call that Central, North and Northeast region railway route) and Electrified Light Red Line (Bangsue to Talingchan or I call that Central, Wast to South regional railway route). And 3rd floor not open until State Railway of Thailand construct 1st phase high speed from Bangsue to Nakhon Ratchasima 253 kilometers (Central to northeast high speed train route or call that Thailand-China Collaboration Train Project by use 100% annual government expenditure and will be opening on 2028.) and 2 nd phase extend from Nakhon Ratchasima to Nong Khai Province (Northeasternmost Province in Northeast regional in Thailand and connect to Vientiane, Laos and China in the future) 356 kilometers (Complete from Bangkok to Nong Khai 608 kilometers) open 2030-2032. This station is central for use commuter train, long distance railway (Travel and transport cover every region in Thailand/exceed 300 kilometers from Bangkok) and high speed train in the future.
Wow thanks for the information. There’s going to be some interesting rail travel in the coming years.
The Thai National anthem is played daily at 8am and at 6pm
Yes, it was 6pm at the station. I like this, it is very patriotic. Something you didn’t see too often.
It certainly has come a long way Lee, I now have been living here for 17 years over two stints and in between 28 years of traveling here, it is so easy to get around Bangkok and the close surrounding provinces now, but it is still sadly lacking in the country areas.
poorl ink transport, especially rail trasport, still the big problem in thailand's provincial areas, especially out of suburban zones.
Bang Sue Central Station was built to accommodate the high-speed trains currently under construction and to ensure all future lines will be built. It will be the largest rail connectivity hub in Thailand.
It will be great when it is completed.
Bang Sue Grand Station will open fully operation service along with high speed train first phase finish in next couple years
Amazing, it’s a great station.
My first visit Bang Sue Grand station was in June 2021 when the government turned the station to the Covid19 vaccine appointment site, I got my first Covid19 jab here.
It’s a huge station, was it super busy with people getting the injections?
@@mrdon8er We were told by the government to make an online appointment scheduling via their application, it was actually quick and orgainized.
Ok the fare to DMK airport is 20 baht, but they do not go to BKK airport.
This station will be use as the high speed train main station next three years.
Amazing, I hope to take a train trip from there again soon. 🙏🏽
Hello Sergeant Bob.
lol hello
It's so huge because it is also a terminal for high speed trains in the near future.
Yes and I love it, cannot wait until it is completely up and running.
The reason they salute to the driver as if your are wearing a hat you cannot do the traditional Wai , you must salute, so nothing to do at all with respect 555
So what is the purpose of a salute though? Hello?
It looks good, I take it as ‘Hello driver, thank you for your service, you are amazing’ 555
@@mrdon8er because as I said if the station staff are wearing a hat which is part of their uniform they are not allowed to do a traditional Wai, same as police or security guards as it is considered offensive you must salute when wearing a hat, it is a Thai thing.
I remember when I first went to Thailand in 1979 we had nothing in regards to modern public transport.
Now,here is 2024.
@@PongSak-s9w of course it is 2024, what are you trying to say??
Good video! Like the railway public transport in Bangkok a lot. But there are some things I dislike:
1: No "Spider Card" yet. You have to pay every time you change from MRT to BTS to SRT to coach services.
2: Why there are so many different rail systems? BTS, MRT, ARL, Monorail, People Mover, Red Line.
3: Yellow (monorail)line already had an accident less than a year after opening and offered only a delayed service. Please don't buy from China again dear Bangkok.
4: Already after around a year after Krung Thep Aphiwat Central Terminal had opened you could see damage on the floor like broken tiles.
Yes, I guess that is a part of expansion over the years. I still really like the system though.
@@mrdon8er I do like it too. Much better and cleaner than systems in Europe.
FYI, The yellow (monorail)line is Innovia Monorail 300 from Bombardier. Thailand doesn't have a train from China operating now.
@@pakkaponjirachatmongkon3868 But is was contracted with "Sino-Thai Engineering and Construction (STEC)".
@@pakkaponjirachatmongkon3868 some new fleets of BTS are China manufaturer.
555 Lee Bang in Thai is pronounced Bung everywhere except Bangkok which is Krung Thep
Oooops lol. I’m Aussie, you know how it goes 555
การแนะนำเส้นทางมีประโยชน์ต่อนักท่องเที่ยวมากๆเพื่อน ชอบครับชอบ🙋🥰
Thank you, I am looking forward to taking some more trips around Bangkok.
สวัสดีค่ะ 💖
😀สวัสดีครับ
Hello there
How did you feel for riding some of Bkk rail systems?.For the joint ticket,now is under processing..😊😊❤ Now we have 10 lines of rail transit 171 stations and 276.5 km.and by the end of 2029 3 more lines and some lines extention will be finished in fitst road- map with 13 lines 540 km long,and also 2 lines of high speed trains 253 km to Korat and 220 km to Pattaya , Rayong❤❤
It is great, I really like the Bangkok rail system. That will be great when it goes direct to Pattaya.
@@mrdon8er yes ,that eastern hsr.line called 3 airports link hsr line from Donmeuang airport - Suvarmabhumi airport - U- Tapao airport start constructing this year .This line goes to Pattaya city.
Unfortunately there are no high speed trains in Thailand Lee, top speed is maximum 80 to 100 kilometers per hour.
That’s high speed compared to the north shore line 555, I must have thought I read high speed somewhere.
@@mrdon8er yep exactly compared to the up and down shore it is fast😂
One is being built right now from Bangkok to Korat. 250Km/hr trains will be from China but there's no Chinese loan involved. China was more than happy to build for us to go all the way to Malaysia but that would come with things like a lease of 50 meters along the track on both sides for 99 years. So, we decided to do it ourselves. The extension from Korat to Nongkhai has also been approved by the cabinet. There's also another high speed rail going on - to connect Donmeung Airport, Suvarnabhumi Airport and Utapao Airport in Rayong. There will be a Pattaya station along the way. CP Group has won the bid but they keep stalling citing rising costs of construction but just heard that they should be able to start soon.
@@VintageThaiLadyBoythat’s amazing and will dramatically enhance the existing railway.
High speed train is in progress in construction right now.
