- The Full Yellow MRTA Monorail Line in Bangkok is open Now. I decided to ride the whole track and show the front view from the cockpit. Started at the YL1 Lat Prao Station to the YL23 Samrong Station.
The Full Line is 28.7 km (17.8 mi) long, it has 23 stations and cost 55 billion baht. The whole trip takes about 50 minutes. This video is 45 minutes long.
The Full Line opened on Monday the 19th of June 2023.

I am a Thai-American who grew up in Southern California and every time I see the new Yellow MRTA monorail it reminds me of my childhood at Disneyland where I rode on a monorail for the first time!
Wow, you deserve a Oskar for this video, really fantastic, enjoyed so much, one 👍🏼 isn’t enough 😊🙏🏼👍🏼🇹🇭🏆
Fantastic view mate!!! I used to speed up videos like this and add house music!!
More and more stations……very good way to get around in Bangkok!!
My wife exited the blue line today and somehow couldn't find the yellow line. The story of my 23 years in Bangkok. Always lost. Thank you for this great preview ride.
Doesn’t get better than this. Real feel of train with Thai announcements, loving it 😍
Getting around Bangkok is more convenient and easily accessible by public transport.
Wow long video, I like these ones. Thanks for showing the real ride.
Hope you'll do the same coverage on MRT Pink Line next week.
That's the one I'm looking forward to the most as it's only 10 minutes from my home.
Great video and really nice watching. Thanks for best update today. This is good information and I very interesting to try next time.🌷🌷♥️♥️
Super
Wow, great job on this video. This is my part of the city so especially appreciate the excellent editing and notations.
❤thank you
Cool. Thank you for your effort to make this Video. Big appreciate. ❤❤❤
I love the way you report with subtitles in English in more detail which is perfect.
When I went to Bangkok before, the only places I saw were Blue Line and BTS.
However, I looked at Google Maps and found out that there was a new MRT.
Your video solved my curiosity.
Thank you very much.
Thank you Jaroen for take us along the yellow line. This line is near my places, I will be use many time. Thank you for your information update.
Looking cool I can't wait for my holiday in July. Thanks for your useful vlog.
Thanks, very good video. I used this yellow line last week from Hua Mak to south several time. Great line
The Mall Bangkapi is undergoing renovation and is expected to be completed by the end of this year.
❤❤❤🚈🚈🚝🚝🚝🚄🚄🚄🚄🚈🚈🚈🚝🚝🚝🚝🚄🚄🚄 love it.😅
Beautiful Train and Beautiful front view. 🙏
Great video.
1:05 If you walk to the left to the flyover, there is a short-cut under the flyover to the station.
Thank you for your review, have a good time in Thailand !!!
Thanks Jeroen. Always good seeing you. I enjoyed the full ride!
สวยงาม👍✌️✌️😎😁
It's hard not to notice the juxtaposition of the old, run-down buildings versus the modern monorail system. It is quite stark.
Rundown buildings are eco-friendly as long as someone doesn't input new resources to refurbish or replace them.
Thank you so much ❤❤❤❤
Thanks for another brilliant video Jeroen. I am trying this line for fun tomorrow🤣
Did you enjoy it Selwyn?
Soon The Pink Line will be open for service as well
Yeah next yr or a bit after next year!
I am happy now, because actually it is easy from my hotel (landmark) going to seaconsquare , my favorite mall.
45 minutes well spent, Thanks 🙂 Jeroen, I'm curious about your drone usage can you make a BTS ?
Beautiful Birdseye view🎉 ❤
Yes, Thank you for the video. On this new monorail. What is the hold time at each station? Say like from the time the doors open and then close again, is it 45 or 60 seconds? Also, thinking there are some station agents at each platform side.
Excellent vlog Jeroen. Very comprehensive. Thank you for showing us 😀👍🏼
Great VIDEO!! :)
nice vid, good quality
That was oddly satisfying, it made me miss Bangkok and i watched it from start to finish. It would be interesting to see the stats on how many people watched it all. Thanks for filming this, I enjoyed it 🙂
Hopefully they are constructing the last bit to connect with the northern Green Line ending with 25 Stations!
Doubtful to happen for at least 5 yrs. It was never part of the original MRT Yellow line plan going back to 2004 when it was a heavy rail line. BSR (BTSC sub.) only proposed the ext in Sept 2016 when they were bidding for the line. However, MRTA has never approved it & it is opposed by BEM. It will however be in the next Master Plan map due out in August so it will happen in the future.
By the Way, there is not a Skywalk to the Airport link Station from Hua Mak. You have to Walking along the normal Railway about 300m
Ok, thanks for the info Rene :-)
25:30 kalantan station in Thailand 😊

kalantan asal kelatan

jkt must learn from Bkk n Sgp about MRT .
Thanks for yr VDO ÂÂÂ
Welcome to Thailand. The pink line is preparing to open this August. We give you a try and review there. There's a lot of new things in Thailand for you to discover.❤
👍
I don't hear the whistle blown by the security guards. 🤣
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
👍👍🤟
Along with the smog from the canadian fire's in WI here I felt like I was literally in Bangkok 😂Hopefully these undeveloped off the path areas become home to future expat communities soon!🎉
How did you hold up your camera for 47 minutes? My arm gets sore after 5 minutes😂. Good job 👍
Haha, yeah it got a bit annoying after about 15 stations :-)
Well it’s definitely not the fastest way to get around Bangkok but it’s better than nothing
Very nice.
Q: where is the best to get out to the Srinagarindra Train Night market?
The Station called Srinagarinda!

Hope pink line will also be crowded like yellow line
Any stops you recommend to walk around for tourist-ing?
Si bearing is my apartment
How long have you been in Thailand?
Awesome!!! How about orange?
Unfortunately, the MRT Orange line won't open until late 2025, more realistically early 2026, even though it is essentially finished. MRTA has stuffed up the western ext tender process which impacts this initial Eastern section.
@@yappofloyd1905 that sux
Can also use debit card for all mrt/lrt rite.. thought of using Big pay card
Another fantastic video with great drone footage. One question. Why does a driverless train need a Windscreen wiper?
For cctv camera
For the passengers.
in the case auto system broken which end up need to manual driving
I thought the ride was very poor, the carriage was always moving. so hang on! It is very cool to see the actual track elevation changes and the dip under the Airport rail link gives it a roller coaster feel.
and it was 1 of reason why this line end up be monorail
i tryed the train the 2nd day they open half of the line (for free) but is was a bumpy ride, is it still so?
It's so sad for me as US citizen to see once considered third world countries leaving the US behind in the dust. Egypt, Panama, the Dominican Republic, and others are all building monorails like this. The US is so invested in its old transit technology and is so controlled by the oil, auto and highway industries that green, ultra-modern systems like this is impossible to build in any US city. We here are still pouring asphalt like it was 1970.
It’s not even that they are filled with Decrepit Criminals!!! Even if the States expands the metros system like LA did bragging no one wants to use it because of the stabbings fights drug addicts homeless etc…
As this is likely being read by an international audience, I will make the effort to point out that I believe this comment is highly misleading as to problems in US transportation.
The oil, auto, and highway interests do not block rail systems any more than they block interstate highway systems. For example the extension of the I-69 expressway from Indianapolis to the Mexican border (the "NAFTA Highway") is currently far from completion. It was approved by Congress in 1991. It received an additional designation and importance as a declared "corridor of the future" on 2007. It is still mostly incomplete.
It is American disfunction rather than the influence of a handful of industries which prevents progress in transportation in the US.
The generations who built those derided legacy systems are gone now. Current generations apparently have other priorities.
[Edited for grammar corrections]
We're still a third world, everything is concentrated in Bangkok. I cannot in my right say that Thailand has escaped the third world status. Maybe in 20 years after the High-speed Rail, Metro system in other cities other than Bangkok and the EEC has come to fruition, only then i can even considering that.
What do you mean old transit technology? This video has monorail system. It is sized for target riders with many stops and short distance. (and city density) What specific transit agency is controlled by oil industry? How is capital and operation expenses funded for public transit in your city?
@@joetrey215 I would also add that various US transit agencies are now faced with the hollowing out of their host cities. Ridership has not resumed to pre-covid volumes due to 'work for home' work culture. Bus routes are changing due to new rider patterns, but rail is not as flexible.
Hello.guy. Are you Datchman?.From Netherland?😊❤
Yes, I am Dutch :-)
I wonder how the acceleration compares with traditional metro
because of acceleration safety that prevent this train from going full power
43:36 why does it say Green Line instead of BTS Skytrain
Till when is it for free?
July 2nd
It looks like they made the same mistake as they did here in my home town when it comes to wheelchair or mobility challenged passengers - they didn't coordinate the height of the train with the height of the platform thus necessitating a ramp which is not always available, causes delays and also needs palnning to have one available on the discharge station when the train pulls in. An expensive mistake as we learned here
it was calculated because of gap between train and platform are too wide even height of both are matched
Why use monorail system then what the BTS have
there very tight corner + sloope too high to be unacceptable to be heavy rail

Why did they choose this type of train vs what has been used. Is it a faster form of construction or……?
Was changed by the MRTA in 2012 from a heavy rail line to a monorail to essentially save on construction costs. However, it ended up costing more anyway esp with the delays. It should be a heavy rail line as the 2 other MRT lines. 3 more monorail lines are planned unfortunately.
@@yappofloyd1905 already ran into problem only a couple of weeks of operation. I knew that it would be like this. I've watched many Rail enthusiasts' videos on this, they all agreed that the Monorail system is inefficient, prone to breakdowns and short lifespan. It would seem that they were right. I hope against all the old heads in the Government to realize this fact and decided to change course with the rest of the planned Lines and go with light rail. Khonkaen had already made a home grown prototype of a tram. It can easily be remodeled into a Light Rail. I can already see just how cheaper it would be if Bangkok would just cooperate with Khonkaen on this. I hope Khonkaen build their Tram quickly, so the central Govt can see for themselves just how cheaper and much more efficient a Light Rail could be.
@@GalacticallyHatesCorporatism Yea, I was trying to compare this monorail to light rail capacities. I guess we would see an overhaul once the monorail capacity is reached. I don't know if the base supports can handle the change.
@@darwinjina The monorail sets will be expanded to 7 carriages as pax numbers rise. Can't really convert to light rail as it means demolishing the concrete track and then building a viaduct along the whole line assuming the support pillars can support the extra weight. It would basically mean rebuilding the whole line. BSR has a 50yr concession to operate it so perhaps after then?
@@yappofloyd1905 Yea, mono is lmited. I guess someone did long term term analysis and figured that it was not going to be needed, or money was the main constraint. I'm not familar with this new line. Perhaps, with WFH (work from home) post-covid trend, ridership will grow slower. (if it is even at the pre-covid rate yet)
For being the newest line it is probably the worst in my opinion. Very bumpy ride and there isn't much seating.. It looks like a lot of choices made were made on the cheapest option rather than the best option.
Monorails are generally like this do to the way they are designed running on single line vs Double Track like the original BTS MRT!
The original yellow line was proposed as a monorail back in 1996. When OTP formulated the 10 line Master Plan in 2004, the MRT Yellow line was proposed as a heavy rail line just like the Blue Line underground along Latphrao Rd & then elevated along Srinakarin rd. Then in 2012, the MRTA changed it to monorail essentially to reduce construction costs. The line should be heavy rail given pax projections. Would be a smoother ride also.
@@yappofloyd1905😢 I hate reduce cost
@@user-yx2cs7qj3sat less this construction eaten only 2 traffic lane compare to heavy rail that eat 4 traffic lane (or force road close until system completed)
Still only 4 car units. They haven't learnt yet have they?
early operation alway have very low ridership anyway (still enought for just 4 car to handle until later when repulation climb up which then no longer handle and time for extra car to be need)
@@user-ei8vz8xy1j Are the busy lines using more cars?
@@soloperformer5598right now all still able to handle current passenger usage level
@@user-ei8vz8xy1j You didn't when I last travelled on the red and green lines.
@@soloperformer5598are you gay 😅
Americans: monorail is not practical hurr durr while building useless slow streetcars/LRT
Don't get me wrong, I'm definitely a railfan, but here's my issue with this system; built in a country where I'm pretty sure skilled labor jobs are needed; they build an automated monorail system that costs how may millions of dollars??? WTF!!! 🤔🤨😒🙄😬😢 I smell corruption... the people of Bangkok deserve better!
I don't understand your post. Were you wanting similar construction to the other lines?
@@darwinjina I'm sorry you don't understand, but maybe you've made another good point by not understanding. 🤔
@@dsaccsimracing if you are curious about the builders and that drama, then you could read the local news about the concrete platform that fell a few weeks ago. I was trying to understand your post. It was too vague. Several lines are light rail. Perhaps, you are thinking that they should use light rail instead of monorail?
@@darwinjina Just a small note that a monorail is a type of light rail. The line really should be heavy rail as originally intended but.....
@@yappofloyd1905 its a wannabe light rail. No one that has light rail considers it in the same vein. lol. But, to be fair, each has their role. For us, monorail is too limited. light rail is right for most usage. But, yea, it can get overwhelmed in a hurry. When a heavy rail (2 story) car unloads their passengers, it will take multiple light rail to handle it. For that new line in Bangkok, it sounded like money was a main constraint. Monorail is good for limited/niche light capacity usage. (imho, not worth it) Personally, I like light rail. but for high density traffic, then you need the heavier rail.
สวัสดีครับแอดมิน
ทีนี้ก็รอสีชมพูปลายปีนี้นะครับ
Many times, the wrong train took me to the right place.
Like that one :-)
