Bangkok
BANGKOK'S massive Bang Sue Grand Station - billed as the largest railway station in South-east Asia - is scheduled for a very soft opening on Monday, to be witnessed by thousands of Thais receiving their Covid-19 vaccinations on the site.
The Red Line, 40 km of elevated tracks, will launch a free trial passenger service to the public that links Bangkok's western and northern suburbs to the 290,000 square metre Bang Sue Grand Station, which is still largely vacant and will remain so for the foreseeable future.
