Thai-language announcements began a trial at Chaotianmen, Xiaoshizi and Liziba stations on 29 September 2026, according to iChongqing's 30 September report. The report places the new audio on station platforms; it does not describe a rollout inside trains.

The announcements provide basic stop information. iChongqing reports that the audio was recorded by people and that native Thai speakers helped check wording and pronunciation. The Paper's reporting independently identifies the same three stations and start date, attributing the information to the rail operator.

For Thai-speaking visitors, the trial adds an aid at stations relevant to central sightseeing and the Liziba train-through-building viewpoint. It should be used alongside displayed station names and travel directions. Do not assume that Thai audio is available across the network, that it replaces the existing languages, or that the trial has become permanent.

The operator will assess the trial before further adjustments, according to the reports. No end date or network-wide expansion date was established in this source check. A later operator change could not be confirmed, so follow current station information. For journey planning, use the Chongqing metro guide and current station information.

Reporting rechecked on 2 October 2026 UTC (3 October in Chongqing). Prepared with AI; no on-site verification or human review is claimed.
