Can a farang apply for an M Pass

[ubonr1971]

If so, what do I take to KTB to apply. Assuming car book, license and yellow book?

[HampiK]

Sorry to ask, why not only go and buy an EasyPass?

You can buy the EasyPass at many places on entrance of the Tollway!

The Easy Pass does both ... you will need to take your passport as well. Probably M Pass also does both ...just a guess

Yes, a foreigner can get an M-Pass. Take your driver's license, passport, and blue book for your car to any KTB branch. I believe there is a 1000 baht deposit. The funds go directly onto your M-Pass card. They will issue you a transponder and top-up card. When I did it, I was in and out in 20 mins.

They both do the same thing. Easy Pass belonged to Bangkok metropolitan and M-Pass belonged to the Ministry of Transport's Department of Highways outside Bangkok. Several years ago they merged so that either transponder works at any of their automatic gates.

I have often considered having one of these Easy Pass cards. Can you let me know how these work?

Thanks.

Nice and simple, just make sure you have enough credit on the card before you use the dedicated barriers.

The EXAT website link below should have any answers you require.

Go and get the TAG from either, an office on the tollway, usually situated after you have passed through the toll booths, or as other posters have said, from a KTB bank branch. You pay a 1000 thb deposit, as such, but the whole of the 1000 thb is credited to the TAG. As you pass through the "Easy Pass" booths it will display your remaining balance on the booth screen.  

You can top up either at 7/11 with the plastic card given with the TAG or at any KTB branch ( usually takes 24hrs for the credit to hit your TAG) or Tollway offices (instant top up). Hope this helps.

To add to the above, you can use your phone banking to top up using the serial number on the card, doing so this way has been instant and much quicker than the old paying a top up at the booth system. 

I wasn't sure about the deposit being credited 100% to your usable balance, but perhaps I'm confusing that with the original TAG system where there was a device deposit collected.

Adeposit which incidentally I didn’t manage to get the refund on yet! as I didn't have the same passport I'd used to register available at the time of changing over from TAG to EasyPass

Got my M-Pass about two years ago.  Can top up from my Bangkok Bank account any time.  Two or more monthly trips Rayong to Bangkok.  Also now in use when leaving the Pattaya area for BKK and Rayong.  M-Pass has made my trips so much easier.  Well worth your effort to get one.

how does one know the balance after a few months. I suppose if theres no credit then it will not let you through

Hi All, as you pass through the toll booth and pay the toll, the toll booth screen shows your balance.

I also pay online with my Kasikorn Bank account to top up my card, use it on both my cars by just holding it out of the window, a Guy in front of me had his taped to the end of a pole and being held out his window.

To avoid doing that, is it possible to get a 'secondary card' ?

To check the number on the screen is OK.. but for myself I think it's easier to check the remaining balance on the EXAT app.

So I just got an M-pass for my personal car, can it bet topped up at a 7/11 or only at a krungtai bank ?

[Don Mega]

Is there a way to topup this M Pass  other than going to a KTB Branch ?

 

If yes, how.

[VocalNeal]

Using my SCB mobile banking App. So assume other banks mobile apps are same. 

???? I haven't tried it but if I can do it with App then I should be able to do it with ATM.

 

Or ditch M pass and get an EasyPass pass and then there are more booths at which to top up. This is a bit drastic but depends how often you want to do it.

Boots to top-up?

Nowadays you can load M-Pass by bank and Easy pass through it's app
