More details

Getting to the start

MRT Sam Yot Station (Blue Line) — ~2-3min/~300m walk to The Old Siam Plaza, the start/finish venue

Start/finish at The Old Siam Plaza, Burapha Road (near Bangkok's Chinatown/Phahurat 'Little India' area, close to the Sri Guru Singh Sabha Sikh temple that organizes the run). Race starts very early — 2026 edition 21.1K started 3:30am — public transit not running at that hour, plan taxi/ride-hail or drive.

treat as per prior edition (30th Thai Sikh Run, Feb 1, 2026 found) pending official 2027 confirmation.

Getting to the finish

Same as start — The Old Siam Plaza, Burapha Road, near MRT Sam Yot

Loop-style urban course finishing back at The Old Siam Plaza.

Start shuttle

Instead, two free on-site/nearby parking areas for runners driving themselves: (1) The Old Siam Plaza itself and (2) the nearby Ruam Thanu Thai Building, 2:30am-8:00am race day, parking tickets stamped at the event info tent.

IC card

Rabbit Card (still required for the BTS Skytrain network)

Any BTS Skytrain station counter (passport required to buy/top up under 2025 AML rules); can also be pre-booked online for pickup at Suvarnabhumi Airport Works directly at the gates

The Grand Palace/Old City (Phra Nakhon) area is served by MRT Sanam Chai station (Blue Line) and Chao Phraya Express Boat piers. As of June 1, 2026, Bangkok's MRT (Blue and Purple Lines, extending to Yellow/Pink) fully switched to EMV open-loop contactless payment: any foreign Visa, Mastercard, or UnionPay contactless bank card taps directly at the turnstile.

The separate BTS Skytrain network still requires a Rabbit Card (contactless bank cards do NOT work on BTS turnstiles). River boats are primarily cash-paid, though the Rabbit Card is now accepted on some Express Boat lines.

READY TO RUN

From race morning to after the finish.

Your start time, fuel and bag drop.
Know them ahead and the run feels easier.

Since the departure time is early in the morning, there is no public transportation.

It is about 300 meters from Sam Yot Station on the MRT Blue Line to the starting point, and a 2-3 minute walk,

but in reality, you should plan on taking a taxi, calling a car, or traveling by your own vehicle.

Free parking for runners is available at two locations, Old Siam Plaza and the nearby Ruam Thanu Thai Building,

from 2:30 a.m. to 8 a.m. on the day of the race, and parking tickets are confirmed and stamped at the event information booth.

Bib must be received in advance from the Sikh Temple before the competition and cannot be picked up on the same day.

If it is difficult to visit, you can apply for mail delivery for 60 baht per person.

Times are local to Khet Phra. Check the latest official information before the race.
