MRT Queen Sirikit National Convention Center Station to Close Temporarily on October 16
The MRT Blue Line will temporarily close the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center station on October 16, 2026, to accommodate security measures for the IMF-World Bank Group Annual Meeting.
According to an announcement from BEM (Bangkok Expressway and Metro), the MRT Queen Sirikit National Convention Center station will be closed to the public on October 16, 2026. The closure is scheduled to take place between 09:00 and 16:00.
This temporary suspension of service is being implemented as part of heightened security protocols required for the IMF-World Bank Group Annual Meeting 2026, which is being hosted at the convention center.
For residents and travelers in Bangkok, this means that trains will not stop at this specific station during the designated seven-hour window. Passengers are advised to plan their journeys accordingly, as all other MRT stations will continue to operate under normal service hours.
While the operator has apologized for the inconvenience, it remains important for commuters to note that the station is expected to resume normal operations immediately following the 16:00 reopening. Travelers heading to the area should check for alternative transport routes or nearby stations to avoid delays. As of now, no further closures have been announced for the remainder of the event, but commuters are encouraged to monitor official BEM channels for any last-minute updates or changes to the schedule.
