Good things just keep coming. Over at Kevin & Isabel, I was reminded the subway (Bangkok Metro) is opening tomorrow!
Looking at the routemap, there’re so many places I’ll be visiting more because of it:
- my house — the new station means a shorter walk. May be mom would use it more now 🙂
- สวนลุม night bazaar — for that urge to night wander
- สวนลุม itself — morning jog? hey, a man can dream eh?
- ศูนย์ประชุมแห่งชาติสิริกิติ์
- เซ็นทรัล ลาดพร้าว
- จตุจักร — ok the old BTS gets me there too, I know.
- ตลาด อ.ต.ก. — but it doesn’t get me here : )
Overall, I think the system is more modern than BTS, and really similar to the MRT here in Singapore. It uses tokens & stored-value cards, which you tap,instead of insert, into the gates. Finally my wish came true! If only they interoperate with BTS!
