The construction of the first Bangkok (Krung Thep) Metro line, officially known as Chaloem Ratchamongkhon (Thai สาย เฉลิม รัช มงคล) - "Celebration of Royal Auspice" - or informally as the "Blue Line", began on 19 November 1996.

On 3 July 2004 the line was officially opened at 19:19 local time by HM King Bhumibol and Queen Sirikit , who were accompanied by other members of the royal family.
