Fares for the Khlong Saen Saep boat service in Bangkok will go up by one baht from Jan 14, the ferry operator Krom Krua Khonsong announced on Monday.
Managing director Chaowalit Methayaprapas said fares for services between Wat Si Boonruang and Phan Fa piers had been frozen for over 600 days, since 2020, as requested by the Marine Department of the Transport Ministry.
However, with the economic slump and the Covid-19 pandemic there were fewer passengers and the company could no longer shoulder the operating cost.
Therefore, the fares – currently 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 and 18 baht depending on the distance – will from Jan 14 go up by one baht – to 9, 11, 13, 15, 17 and 19 baht respectively.
