Ride the subway all day, old folks, it’s free during Songkran

If you’re old enough to be the object of some respectful water dabbing instead of wild spraying, you can probably catch a free lift on Bangkok’s subway system next month for Songkran.

Part of the annual ritual, passengers 60 and up can ride for free on the MRT subway April 13 to 15, its operator announced today. Are subways too morbid for you? Don’t worry, the BTS Skytrain will likely announce the same promotion any moment now.

You will need some form of ID verifying your venerable age to get a token at the ticket booth.
