Traffic chaos in Bangkok due to infrastructure projects

While the traffic chaos in Bangkok is normally already of special proportions, it will get even worse this year, especially in the northern part of the capital. There is a lot of work being done, not only figuratively but also literally.

There are 11 major infrastructure projects, four of which are already operational: the Purple Line (Tao Poon – Khlong Bang Phai), Blue Line (Bang Sue – Hua Lamphong), Green Line (Mo Chit – Samut Prakan) and the Light Green Line (National Stadium – Bang Wa).

Work is ongoing on the Red Line (Bang Sue – Rangsit), Green Line (Mo Chit – Saphan Mai-Khu Khot), Pink Line (Min Buri – Khae Rai), Orange Line (Thailand Cultural Center – Min Buri), Yellow Line (Ratchada – Samrong), extension of the Blue Line (Ta Poon – Tha Phra) and Blue Line extension (Hua Lamphong – Bang Kae, coming into operation in September).

Given the many projects, part of Bangkok is a major construction site, with the necessary consequences for traffic. But of course it always has to get worse before it gets better.
