Bang Phai MRT station
Pak Khlong Phasi Charoen, Thailand
Bang Phai station (Thai: สถานีบางไผ่, pronounced [sā.tʰǎː.nīː bāːŋ pʰàj]) 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" (the beginning of Khlong Phasi Charoen). Not to be confused with the Khlong Bang Phai station on the Purple Line.
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.
