BACKGROUND

        According to the feasibility study on economics and environment and the preliminary design of the Yellow Line project which was undertaken by Office of Transport and Traffic Policy and Planning (OTP) during the years 2007-2011, the Yellow Line project was divided into 2 sections, i.e. Ratchada/Lat Phrao-Phatthanakan section and Phatthanakan-Samrong section, or The Yellow Line(Lat Phrao - Samrong)

CHARACTERISTICS

      The Yellow Line(Lat Phrao-Samrong) is the straddle monorail system on the elevated structure, 30.4 kilometers with 23 stations. It is the interconnecting line between the Blue Line at Ratchada station (Lat Phrao station of the Blue Line) and the other 4 lines of mass transit system, i.e. the Grey Line(ฺBMA) at Chalong Rat intersection, the Orange Line at Lam Sali intersection, Airport Rail Link at Rama IX interchange and the Green Line: Bearing-Samut Prakan at Samrong station.

Then, the alignment will turn right toward south on Srinagarindra road to connect with the Orange Line at Lam Sali intersection, across Rama IX interchange to connect with the Airport Rail Link through Phatthanakan, Si Nut, Si Udom Suk, Si Iam til Si Thepha intersection. The alignment will turn west onto Thepharak road to interconnect with the Green Line: Bearing-Samut Prakan at Samrong station and ends on Pu Chao Saming Phrai road.
