🌸 Beautiful underground Train Station 🇹🇭
#cherryblossom2024
🌸🌸🤗 My wife and I visited Bangkok, Thailand during the spring season 🪷 for our holiday. While traveling via the MRT underground train, we were captivated by the new Sanam Chai Station, which showcased numerous breathtaking images of the location.
The Sanam Chai station is a rapid transit station on the Blue Line of the Bangkok MRT. It is situated underground beneath Sanam Chai Road in Bangkok, Thailand. During the construction of the station, numerous historical artifacts were discovered, including coins from the reigns of King Mongkut and King Chulalongkorn. These valuable findings were handed over to the Fine Arts Department and Museum Siam for preservation and further research. A special exhibition was organized at the concourse level, specifically under Exit 1, to showcase these artifacts. On 27 November 2020, this underground exhibition became the first museum in Thailand, open to the public free of charge.
The expert in Thai architecture and national artist Pinyo Suwankiri has designed the interior of the place in accordance with the early Rattanakosin era theme. The Sadom pillars, which serve as the main pillars, are adorned with intricately carved tiles in the shape of the Pikul flower. These carvings symbolize prosperity. Additionally, the edges of the pillars are embellished with lotus shapes, featuring long curved petals that lean towards the center. The bottom of each large petal is engraved with smaller petals and coated with a layer of gold leaf. 🏵🌼🌺
Furthermore, apart from its central location on Rattanakosin Island, the station is conveniently situated in close proximity to various notable landmarks such as Wat Pho, Saranrom Park, Saranrom Palace, Museum Siam, Pak Khlong Talat, Rajini School, Wat Ratchabopit, Wat Rajabopit School, and Wat Ratchapradit. This allows us to easily explore and discover more captivating attractions after visiting this station. 😘😘🌸 #songkran2024 #mytravelhacks #historicallandmarks #localguides #familytrip #trip
