3 day MRT exploitation

Okay, I officially started my Bangkok-MRT exploitation for this year. I just purchased a 3 day pass, hence the plan.

Yes, MRT still carries the day pass, the 3 day pass and the monthly pass. They, however, decided to discontinue the 2 week pass almost a year and half ago. I used to get the monthly passes last year. And when I came back earlier this month, I had forgotten about the existence of the other passes, since they don't really advertise the day passes. I was reminded of these passes again when I was researching ways to get to the newly opened Ikea-BangNa.

The 3 day pass cost me a lot, at least for my standards. So I must make full use of this and ensure all my shopping are done within these 3 days. I also should take the chance to reacquaint myself with this city, and check out the stops along the line. The new, the changed and the disappear, although I am not sure if I can notice any disappearing act.

I think this 3 day pass is ideal for those who plan to stay here for the weekend to shop along the various shopping malls along the MRT line. With a minimum fare of 15 baht between 3 stations, the 3 day pass is worth the buy since there are like a minimum of at least 5 stops that are marketed as shopping havens.

My 3 day MRT exploitation started at Sun Watanatum this afternoon.
