Replacing the old Mochit Station, Bangkok Bus Terminal (Chatuchak) was built to serve the changes of the BTS Skytrain depot and the increase in transportation. It was opened on April 8, 1998. However, there would be a move returning to the old Mochit Station due to the expansion of the Bang sue Central Station.
