Bang Wa station

Railway station in Bangkok, Thailand


Bang Wa station (Thai: สถานีบางหว้า, pronounced [sā.tʰǎː.nīː bāːŋ wâː]) 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.[1][2][3] 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 (Asok, Sala Daeng, Mo Chit, and Ha Yaek Lat Phrao) all have separate names with their MRT counterparts (Sukhumvit, Si Lom, Chatuchak Park, and Phahon Yothin stations). This is no longer true after the opening of the MRT Yellow Line's station at Samrong.

History

Bang Wa station opened on 5 December 2013, the same day as the opening of Wutthakat station.[1] Initially, it was only served by Silom Line, and is the terminal station for the Silom Line.

In March 2018, a skywalk was completed connecting the station to Bang Wa Pier of the Khlong Phasi Charoen boat service.

The MRT section of the station opened on 24 August 2019 as part of the Blue Line extension.
