How to Get Home After a Late IMPACT Concert: Last Train Times

Short answer: The last train on the Muang Thong Thani line leaves IMPACT Muang Thong Thani Station (MT01) for Muang Thong Thani Station (PK10) at about 00:02, and leaves Muang Thong Thani Lake Station (MT02) at about 00:00. If you need to connect to another line to reach central Bangkok, that line may stop running before then, so leave the hall as early as you can or prepare a backup plan. The most comfortable option is a hotel within walking distance.

When Is the Last Pink Line Train at IMPACT?

The IMPACT area has 2 stations on the Muang Thong Thani branch of the Pink Line. IMPACT Muang Thong Thani Station (MT01) is near IMPACT Challenger and Chaengwattana Road. Muang Thong Thani Lake Station (MT02) is on the lake side, near Thunder Dome. From both stations you ride to Muang Thong Thani Station (PK10) and transfer to the main line.

All times are approximate departure times from the station under normal operations. Between 18:00 and 24:00, the Muang Thong Thani line runs about every 10 minutes on both weekdays and holidays. When an event draws bigger crowds than usual, the operator adds extra trains.

Prepare before you arrive: top up your Rabbit card with enough balance. Outside ticket office hours you cannot top up or buy a card at the ticket office, and the queue at the ticket machines is very long when an event ends.

What to Know If You Need to Change Lines

On the main Pink Line, trains run about every 10 minutes until midnight. The common problem is that the line you need to transfer to stops earlier. Many people assume that because the trains run until midnight, they can connect to any line, and that is not always true.

Last train times for each line can change according to each operator's announcements. Before you go into the hall, check the last train time for your connecting line in that operator's app or on its website, then compare it with the time the concert is likely to end. Add time to walk out of the hall and to queue at the station. If it still does not work, choose a backup plan before the event starts. Train routes from different starting points are on the page Getting to IMPACT

Vans and Buses

Scheduled vans between Muang Thong Thani and other places have the following fares and operating hours.

As you can see, the scheduled vans stop before most concerts end. If vans are waiting for passengers after the event, always ask the driver for the destination and the price before you get in.

Buses that pass Muang Thong Thani are route 166 (2-21E) Pak Kret Pier to Victory Monument via the expressway, route 166 (2-31E) Si Saman to Victory Monument via the expressway, and route 210 Bang Wa BTS station to Muang Thong Thani. Check the last bus time with the operator on the day you travel.

Taxis and Ride-Hailing Apps

After the trains stop, taxis and ride-hailing apps are the main option. From Muang Thong Thani to Don Mueang Airport takes about 15 minutes, and to Suvarnabhumi Airport about 45 minutes when traffic is clear. Fares depend on distance, time of day, and how many people are booking at that moment. Check the price shown in the app before you confirm.

• Do not book at the hall gate. When an event ends, thousands of people book at once and the road in front of the hall is packed. Walk out past the crowd first, then book.
• Set a pin where drivers can find you easily, such as in front of a hotel, Beehive Lifestyle Mall, or Cosmo Bazaar, and type a message telling the driver where you are standing.
• Sit and wait for the crowd to thin. Grab something to eat before you book. Places open late are on the page Restaurants Around IMPACT
• In a taxi, ask the driver to use the meter. If the driver asks for a flat fare, agree on a price that includes expressway tolls before the car moves.

Driving Home: Where to Get on the Expressway

The Muang Thong Thani ramp connects to the Udon Ratthaya Expressway, which continues to the Sri Rat Expressway into the city. The other options are Chaengwattana Road or Tiwanon Road. Keep in mind that most car parks close at 24:00 and start charging 100 baht per hour from 01:00, so do not leave your car for too long. If you plan to eat after the event, leave time to return for your car before the car park closes.

The Most Comfortable Option: Stay at a Hotel Within Walking Distance

If you live far away, come from another province, or the concert ends close to midnight, staying in the area removes all of the problems above.

• Novotel Bangkok IMPACT is inside the IMPACT area, about 5 minutes on foot to IMPACT Arena. It has a covered bridge to Hall 6 and a link to IMPACT Challenger. Thunder Dome is even closer.

Plan Your Trip Home in 4 Steps

1. Check the start time and length of the show from the organizer's announcements, and estimate when it will end.
2. Check the last train time for the line you need to connect to, and compare it with the tables above.
3. If you will not make it, choose a backup plan in advance, such as a ride-hailing app, arranging a pick-up, or booking a hotel.
4. Top up your Rabbit card, fully charge your phone, and agree on a meeting point with your friends before you enter the hall. When the event ends the crowd is huge and it is hard to reach each other.
