Bangkok buses on 41 routes to run for an extra hour on Loy Krathong
The Bangkok Mass Transit Authority (BMTA) will extend the operating hours of 2,845 city buses by an hour to ensure Bangkokians get home safely on Loy Krathong night. Many public buses normally terminate at 10pm.
The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) also announced earlier this week that it is opening 33 public parks until midnight on Tuesday to accommodate the floating of krathongs. A special fair featuring live performances and stalls is also being held at the foot of Rama VIII bridge on the Thonburi side.
