Bangkok BTS Pink Line SkyTrain
The Bangkok BTS Pink Line, or Northern Bangkok Monorail, is a newly opened cross-city link connecting northern areas of Bangkok. The Pink Line connects with the MRT Purple Line at Nonthaburi Civic Center Station, the SRT Red Line at Lak Si Station, and the BTS Green Line at Wat Pra Sri Mahathat Station.
The BTS Pink Line is designed to accommodate travel demand in northern Bangkok between the Min Buri district and Nonthaburi. The line doesn’t pass the city center and other areas frequently visited by tourists, but you might still find it useful during your visit if you will be going to the northern part of the city to watch Muay Thai fights at Lumpinee Boxing Stadium or to extend your visa at Bangkok Immigration Office.
Despite being managed by the BTS, the Pink Line is called MRT, and it connects with the Purple Line of the original MRT system. However, it is not a fully integrated part of the metro system. Ticketing for this line is separate, and you won't be able to change trains without getting a new ticket, unless you are transferring from the BTS Green Line.

As many travelers get confused, traveling on the Pink Line Skytrain is not covered by the BTS Skytrain One-Day Pass, which is only valid on the BTS Green Line.
The BTS Pink Line is just one part of the complex mass rapid transit system in the Thai capital. To make the most of your visit, get familiar with other metro lines in Bangkok.
