The Thai Ministry of Transport has announced extended public transport hours and free parking to facilitate travel for tourists and residents during the 2025 New Year celebrations.
This initiative aims to promote safe travel, reduce traffic congestion, and encourage the use of public transport.
The Mass Transit Authority of Thailand (MRT) and affiliated agencies are ready to extend services for the BTS Skytrain and adopt necessary safety measures to facilitate travel for those attending countdown events at key Bangkok locations such as ICONSIAM, One Bangkok, and CentralWorld.
Passengers are advised to check the official websites and social-media pages of the MRT operators for the latest information on service hours, parking availability, and safety measures.
Thailand, the second largest economy in Southeast Asia, has predicted exponential growth for the country’s tourism during the New Year festivities, which are expected to generate over 62 billion baht (US$1.8 billion) in revenue.
