Bang Phai MRT station


Bang Phai station is a Bangkok MRT rapid transit station on the Blue Line, above Phet Kasem Road in Bangkok, Thailand, in the area known as "Bang Phai". Not to be confused with the Khlong Bang Phai station on the Purple Line.

Viaduct

This station is unique in that it features a viaduct crossing over the tracks to the other side. It was specially built to allow the relics of the Buddha to be carried along the canal during the annual Chak Phra festival of nearby Wat Nang Chi. According to tradition, the relic must not pass under any bridge or road. A similar viaduct exists at Bang Khun Non station for the same ceremonial reason.
