The MRT Brown Line is a 22.1 km rapid transit line in Bangkok, Thailand proposed monorail mass transit line from Nonthaburi Civic Centre, Nonthaburi Province to Lam Sali intersection, Bang Kapi District. 20 stations are proposed for the line and the expected cost for the project is 48 billion baht. The line has been integrated for 7.2 km with the N2 expressway project and a feasibility study has been completed. The MRT Brown line will interchange with 7 other mass transit lines.

The MRT Brown line investment plan was approved by the MRTA Board in June 2019 for final detailed design, which was expected to be completed by December 2020. However, the detailed design will take longer and is not expected to be completed until September 2022. In mid May 2022, the MRTA received updated consultants studies and started drafting the TOR for the project. On 18 May 2023, the MRTA Board meet to approve the updated designs & analysis and draft tender documents for the line. The documents will be submitted to the Ministry of Transport in the coming months.

The project will seek final Cabinet approval in early 2024 and is now planned to be tendered as a PPP project in late 2024.
