BANGKOK: -- As this Saturday marks Children's Day in Thailand, the BTS and MRT will offer free rides for kids, under certain conditions.

To encourage families to explore Bangkok with their kids, BTS and MRT will waive the fare for children smaller than 140cm in height.

Parents or guardians can get a free pass at the ticket booth at all stations.

I wonder if that's for Thai children only.......

140cm in height! Bit unfair on my 12 yr old who's about 170-175cm.

Wouldn't have been easier and fairer to say free to all school kids in school uniforms (cue Angus Young lookalikes)

'To encourage families to explore Bangkok with their kids, BTS and MRT will waive the fare for children smaller than 140cm in height.' That rather limits it, to Thai Thai kids, and/or those of a fairly young age.

should be cos it's thailand
