MRT Queen Sirikit National Convention Center Station to Close on October 16
The MRT Blue Line will close the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center station on October 16 to enhance security for the IMF-World Bank meetings.
According to a report by Matichon Online, the Mass Rapid Transit Authority (MRTA) has announced that the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center MRT station will be closed to the public on October 16, 2026. This measure is being implemented to bolster security protocols in preparation for the upcoming IMF-World Bank meetings hosted at the venue.
For residents and travelers who rely on the MRT Blue Line, this closure means that trains will pass through the station without stopping. Commuters are advised to plan their journeys in advance, as they will need to use alternative stations or transport methods to reach the area. The decision reflects heightened security requirements for international summits held at the convention center.
While the announcement specifies the closure date, it does not explicitly detail the exact time the station will resume normal operations or if there will be additional restrictions on surrounding roads or public access points. Travelers should monitor official announcements from the MRTA or local news outlets for updates regarding the reopening of the station and any potential changes to the transit schedule. Those planning to visit the vicinity of the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center on October 16 should anticipate potential travel disruptions and allow extra time for their commute.
