What happened to the ฿20 flat fare
The common ticket, which replaces it
Bangkok rail fare FAQ
Is the ฿20 flat fare still running?
No. On 23 June 2026 the cabinet revoked its own earlier resolution creating the measure. It was cancelled outright rather than lapsing pending renewal, so registration through the ทางรัฐ app no longer confers anything. Every line now charges its ordinary fare.
What discounts exist right now?
2: Thai Help Thai Plus — the state pays 60%, the passenger 40% (until 30 September 2026); and ฿40 all-day cap — Red and Purple lines only (until 30 November 2026). Both have firm end dates, so check before planning around them.
When does the ฿17–45 common ticket start?
Not yet. Common ticket — ฿17 boarding charge, capped at ฿45 per journey is targeted for early 2027. Its point is a single boarding charge even when changing lines, covering every line except the Airport Rail Link — but it is not in force, and what you pay today is the table above.
Why does each line charge differently?
Each line has its own operator and concession, with fares set by regulations published in the Royal Gazette or by operator announcement. Fares generally rise with the number of stations, with a boarding charge and a per-trip cap, and changing between operators means paying a second boarding charge — the problem the common ticket is meant to solve.
Is the Green Line maximum ฿47 or ฿65?
Both, for different journeys. ฿47 caps travel within the 26-station concession route; ฿65 caps a journey that crosses between the concession route and an extension, which is what most riders boarding at an outer station actually pay.
Are there senior and student fares?
Yes. Thai nationals aged 60 and over travel at half price by regulation — for example ฿23 maximum on the Pink and Yellow lines, ฿9 on the Gold Line, ฿21 on the Red Line, where students pay ฿38. Each requires that specific card type.
