Bangkok Metropolitan Administration says the first phase of the Rajavithi Skywalk, around Victory Monument, is due to open in early October 2026. The 1,300-metre elevated walkway, 38.31% complete as of 27 August, links BTS Victory Monument to hospitals including Rajavithi and Phramongkutklao, with four public lifts and a 4-metre wide deck. For a shop or clinic near Victory Monument, expect more foot traffic from the BTS side once it opens. No action is needed beyond noting the date.
