The MRT Yellow Line fills a real gap in Bangkok's eastern transit network, connecting Lat Phrao, Si Nakharin, and Samut Prakan in a way that makes commuting faster, less stressful, and far more manageable than sitting in traffic on Lat Phrao Road or Sri Nakharin Road.
Below, Nestopa covers the full MRT Yellow Line route, all 23 stations, interchange connections with other lines, service hours, and the most up-to-date fare information.

What Is the MRT Yellow Line — and Why Does It Matter?
The MRT Yellow Line, officially the Metropolitan Rapid Transit Nakhon Phibat Line, nicknamed "Kek Huay" (after the yellow chrysanthemum) by regular commuters, is Bangkok's first fully automated, driverless monorail. Unlike the Blue or Green Lines, it runs on a single elevated rail rather than a traditional twin-track system.
The line covers Bangkok's eastern and southeastern districts, stretching all the way into Samut Prakan province. It runs from Lat Phrao down to Samrong, 30.4 kilometres in total, with 23 stations along the way.
