Bangkok Expressway and Metro Public Company Limited, or BEM, has announced a temporary suspension of MRT Chaloem Ratchamongkhon Line services after a fire broke out on the tracks between Tao Poon station and Bang Pho station on 20 September 2026 at approximately 12:30 p.m. The blaze is believed to have been caused by a malfunction in the power supply system. The fire forced a temporary halt to train services from Bang O station to Kamphaeng Phet station, causing delays of about 60 minutes at some stations. Passengers can use nearby stations for their journeys. Most recently, officials have entered the area to take action and inspect it closely, while BEM continues to assess the readiness of the system and safety before considering resuming service. BEM also urges passengers to follow its announcements closely and apologises for the disruption, and says it will accelerate efforts to return services to normal as quickly as possible.
