Report from The Nation dated Wednesday 28 June 2006 :-
BTS Skytrain to run more trains
========================
Operators of the BTS Skytrain plan to increase services from next Monday to reduce overcrowding during peak hours.
Dr Anat Arbhabhirama, an adviser to the directors of the Bangkok Mass Transit System Plc, said the Skytrain would change its weekday timetable (Monday to Friday) to keep up with the increasing number of commuters.
The new timetable means passengers would have a shorter wait for trains, which would run every 2 to 3 minutes during peak hours and up to 8 minutes apart after 10pm.
In the morning "peak hour" on the Sukhumvit Line, trains currently run every 2.4 minutes from 7.30am. From Monday, trains will run every 2.33 minutes, from 7am.
The Silom Line will get trains every 3.2 minutes during peak periods instead of every 4 minutes.
In the evening peak period, from 5pm to 7pm, Sukhumvit Line trains will run every 2.4 minutes, instead of every 3 minutes at present. Trains on the Silom Line will be fractionally quicker to arrive - running every 3 minutes from 5.30pm to 7pm.

Report from Bangkok Post dated Monday 3 July 2006 :-
Operator ups subway fares after talks break down
======================================
Subway fares were to rise by from one to three baht today after talks to freeze the price broke down.
The basic fare range goes from 14-36 baht, depending on the distance travelled, to 15-39 baht, and 8-20 baht for the elderly and children.
The fare hike could trigger a legal backlash for the operator, Bangkok Metro Co Ltd (BMCL).
Chartchai Praditpong, BMCL promotions manager, said the increase was in line with the terms of the subway concession.
Travellers using stored-value tickets will get a 15% discount, with trips ranging from 13-33 baht, he said.
Transport deputy permanent secretary Therdsak Sethmanop, an executive member of the Mass Rapid Transit Authority (MRTA), said talks with the BMCL on a fare freeze had achieved nothing.
Yiamchai Chatkaew, acting MRTA governor, said he had asked BMCL to put the increase on hold pending a decision from the cabinet tomorrow.
If the firm applied the increase the MRTA would take legal advice on whether it could be penalised for not getting prior cabinet approval.
Skytrain extension Construction of the 2.2 km skytrain extension from Taksin bridge to Taksin road in Thon Buri will begin next month.
The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration's commercial arm Krungthep Thanakom Co and the elevated train operator, Bangkok Mass Transit System Corp (BTSC), agreed building the route across the Chao Phraya river would begin next month, a source at the city's traffic and transportation office said.
Under a memorandum of understanding that has been signed there would be two stations, at Charoen Nakhon and Wongwian Yai, and the fare would be 10 baht. BTSC trains would run on the new route and the company would be commissioned to collect fares.
The revenue from the extension would mostly go to the BMA, which invested in the route, but a final income-sharing agreement was still being worked out. The source said it was very likely BTSC would be chosen to build and operate the three other skytrain extensions now on the drawing board - the 5.1-km Mor Chit-Kasetsart sector, the 5.25-km Onnuj to Sukhumvit Soi 107 sector and the 5.7-km Taksin-Phetkasem link. Total investment for the three extensions was estimated at 27 billion baht

Report from Bangkok Popst dated Tuesday 3 July 2006 :-
Commuters promised a better deal at a later time
=====================================
The Transport Ministry has moved to cool train commuters' complaints about rising fares on the subway with a promise of more attractive fares in the future.
Subway fares rose by one to three baht yesterday and now range between 15 and 39 baht, up from 14-36 baht.
Many commuters were unaware of the change, giving rise to grumbles.
The subway operator, Bangkok Metro Co Ltd (BMCL), said the increased fares are allowed under its concession contract with the Mass Rapid Transit Authority.
The ministry will seek cabinet approval today for the new fares.
Train traveller Panida Chantarasriwong said the fare rise hit her purse as the cost of everything else seemed to be going up lately as well.
Apisit Suwannasing said the increase hurt because he always took long trips and therefore had to pay more than short-distance riders.
In exchange for the higher ticket price both wanted more frequent services, saying the wait between trains was too long, and a quick expansion of the subway system to cover greater Bangkok.
The existing 20km subway line runs between Hua Lamphong and Bang Sue.
Caretaker Transport Minister Pongsak Raktapongpaisal said he hoped to convince BMCL to set a flat 20 baht fare once the Blue Line is extended from Hua Lamphong to Bang Khae and from Bang Sue to Tha Phra.
The operator would benefit from an increased number of trips once the route opened, he said.
The government plans another two lines _ the two-sector Red Line from Rangsit to Phaya Thai and Taling Chan to Makkasan; and the Purple Line from Bang Sue to Bang Yai.
Mr Pongsak said the terms of reference for the contracts would be completed by July 25.
Pending the expansion, he wanted BMCL to issue monthly tickets with a better discount than the 15% passholders presently receive. The discount for students is doubled.

I wasn't quite sure where to ask this question and I didn't want to start a new thread so here I am...
I need to go to the Chinese Embassy while in Bkk. I read somewhere online that it's near the Thailand Cultural Center station. I figure I can just hop on the subway near Asoke to get there. Does anyone know where I would go once I get off the subway?
Thanks.

It's between Rama 9 MRT and Thai cultural centre MRT.
Walk North from one, or south from the other, I'd say north from Rama 9....or take a taxi as I would.
I would suggest Mel's answer disguises the fact that....he just don't know!
