BTS Green Line Extension
Work on the 13km BTS Green line extension is set to begin Apr 16, ultimately connecting Soi Bearing (Sukhumvit 107) with Samut Prakan. Finally, the many delights of Samut Prakan, such a seagulls and holiday homes for retired military personnel, are nearly within our reach. Maybe. Only 70% of the necessary land has been bought, and the BMA’s Department of Highways hasn’t exactly given contractor Cho Karnchang the green light yet. Still, MRTA Deputy Governor Chaisit Kururat says he’s confident everything’s gonna be fine. In any case, you may want to avoid Sukhumvit past soi Bearing until 2015, when construction is set to finish, as two lanes out of six will be closed.
