The Government of Thailand has announced plans to develop a Red Line monorail, a new public transportation project aimed at boosting economic growth and enhancing connectivity in Pattaya City. The monorail will span 17.37 km connecting Thappraya Intersection and major roads such as Thap Phraya Road, Jomtien Second Road, Chaiyaphruek 1 Road, and Chaiyaphruek 2 Road, before terminating at the Eastern National Sports Training Centre, covering 10 stations.
The proposed monorail stations will be spaced approximately 1 km apart. The preferred investment model for this project is a public-private partnership (PPP), which is considered the most viable option for financing and managing the development. This project is part of a broader initiative to enhance Thailand’s transportation infrastructure, which includes similar plans for Phuket.
