Clarification on MRT Khlong Ban Ma Parking Fees
The Thai government has clarified the 1,000-baht parking fee at the MRT Khlong Ban Ma station, confirming that users who remove their vehicles by October 2 will receive a full refund.
Following public confusion regarding a 1,000-baht parking fee at the MRT Khlong Ban Ma station, the Thai government has issued a formal clarification. According to Matichon Online, the government spokesperson explained that the fee is a temporary measure and not a permanent tariff for daily commuters.
For residents and travelers who have already paid the 1,000-baht fee, the government has confirmed that they are eligible for a full refund, provided they remove their vehicles from the facility by October 2, 2026. This policy is intended to manage parking space usage during the transition period.
This update is particularly relevant for commuters who use the MRT Orange Line extension, as it clarifies the financial expectations for those utilizing the station's parking infrastructure. While the refund process for those meeting the deadline has been outlined, it remains to be confirmed what specific administrative steps or documentation will be required at the site to process these payments. Commuters are advised to monitor official announcements from the Mass Rapid Transit Authority (MRTA) or local government channels to ensure they comply with the requirements before the October 2 cutoff date to secure their reimbursement.
