Bang Wa station

Bang Wa station is a rapid transit station on the BTS Silom Line and MRT Blue Line in Pak [Khlong Phasi Charoen Subdistrict], Phasi Charoen District, Bangkok, Thailand. The station is on the Phet Kasem Interchange where Ratchaphruek cuts with Phet Kasem Roads. It serves as an interchange station for BTS Silom Line and MRT Blue Line, providing direct interchange, but with separate fare and ticket systems for the two lines. Out of the interchanges between the MRT and Skytrain, Bang Wa was the only station where both systems share the same name for the station, as the other interchange stations on the BTS Skytrain all have separate names with their MRT counterparts. This is no longer true after the opening of the MRT Yellow Line's station at Samrong.
