The new MRT Pink Line in Bangkok is ready to be ridden on, and don’t we just love a good ride? Currently in its trial run, and officially launching on December 18, 2023, here’s where the new transport link will take you, as we explore what to do along the new MRT Pink Line in Bangkok.
There are 30 stations connecting Nonthaburi to the Northeastern part of Bangkok, and the MRT Pink Line provides ease of access for a lot of suburban residential zones running along the line, as well as cultural sites and a few notable spots for food and drinks. So if you’re making plans in Thailand, let us throw you a few ideas.
What to do along Bangkok’s new MRT Pink Line
Jog in the Makut Rommayasaran Park
Station: Nonthaburi Civic Centre
The Nonthaburi Civic Centre station is the first station of the MRT Pink Line, connecting with the MRT Purple Line located North of Bangkok. The Makut Rommayasaran Park is a large park popular among joggers and those who want to relax and watch the world go by. The pond in the middle has an abundance of wildlife, from birds and fish to friendly water monitors.
Enjoy an all-you-can-eat A4 wagyu dinner at The Garden Grill Yakiniku
Station: Sanambin Nam
The Garden Grill is perfect for meat lovers. It was once hard to travel to due to the fact that it is located all the way in Nonthaburi, but the new MRT Pink Line certainly helps with that. The Japanese-style yakiniku place is packed to the brim with different cuts of beef, pork, and even fresh sashimi if you want to switch things up. Their most premium all-you-can-eat price is also inclusive of A4 wagyu beef.
Attend concerts at Impact Muang Thong Thani without the traffic stress
Station: Muang Thong Thani
Impact Muang Thong Thani is perfect for many visiting artists and performers to show off their talents to Thai fans, but sometimes, we think it’s just better to miss the chance to see them in person than to even bother going there. This is due to the traffic jams, the sheer distance, and the lack of public transportation. Now, thanks to the MRT Pink Line, it’s just a short motorcycle taxi ride from the station.

Initially intended to be called Wat Prachathipatai (translating to the Temple of Democracy), this is the first temple ever built by the state after the Siamese revolution of 1932. As such, this place is deemed historically significant for being a symbol of victory over conservative royalists, as well as the beginning of the efforts made by the People’s Party. History buffs may enjoy taking a stroll through the temple complex.
Grab pastries and get your work done at Blacksugar Cafe
Station: Maiyalap
Cafe, shop, gallery — Blacksugar has all things minimal, from the interior down to their amazing pastries. With the black and white decor prominent as you walk in, you’ll find the art pieces adorning the walls very eye-catching, seemingly asking you to take them home. We recommend a coffee of your choice and a slice of their delicious banoffee pie.
