An extension to the BTS train service from On Nut station to Soi Bearing in Samut Prakan will open as scheduled Friday, Her Majesty the Queen's birthday.
The service will be free for five months. From January 2nd a Bt15 fee will be collected for the entire 5.25 kilometres covering five stations, on top of fees collected from the original BTS route.
The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration covered the Bt50 billion construction cost for the pillars as well as most of the operational service to keep the flat Bt15 rate.
The new stations, from On Nut to Soi Bearing, are - Bang Chak, Punna Withee, Udomsuk, Bang Na, and terminal station Soi Bearing, between Soi Sukhumvit 105 and 107.

A tip here for those taking the bus from Pattaya. Usually the bus will stop at Ekamai but some locals will alight at On Nut if they see the trafic is too crazy. With this extension , you can alight at this station and get on the skytrain to save some time.
