The MRT Purple Line is a subway line of the Bangkok Mass Transit System that is presently under construction. It will run from the northeastern part of Bangkok in Nonthaburi Province to the southern area of Thonburi in Rat Burana district. It will pass through downtown Bangkok, including Rattanakosin, Dusit and Phra Nakhon, which until now are not served by any rapid transit lines.
The MRT Purple Line is being constructed under two phases. Phase One involves the section from the Tao Pun MRT Station to the Rat Burana MRT Station. It is 23 km in length and is forecasted to be operational in 2014. Phase Two involves the section from Tao Pun MRT Station to Khlong Bang Phai MRT Station. It is 19.8 km long and is forecasted to be operational by 2019.

About this website
Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
