The Pattaya city council has approved plans for an 11 km monorail line, known as the Purple Line, to begin construction in 2027 in Thailand. The project will be completed in two phases through a public-private partnership (PPP) model. The line will run from the Thap Phraya intersection on the west side of the city to Nong Mai Kaen in the east, with 12 stations spaced 800m to 1km apart.
The project will require the expropriation of 635 plots of land and will impact over 460 buildings. The new line is expected to boost urban development in the area.
