Bredbury Blue Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonmarleesco Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 '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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
