The Bangkok Monorail is a monorail in Bangkok. It runs between a shopping center and an amusement park.

On June 26, 2002, a short circuit caused one train to catch fire. The train had no circuit breaker, and the passenger compartment was not protected by fireproof insulation. Two girls, 6 and 8 years old, died in the fire, and two more children were injured from jumping out of the train.
