Blue Line extension art will dazzle

Thai tradition: Sanam Chai Station was designed by renowned Thai architect, Pinyo Suwankiri, a 1994 National Artist in the Visual Arts. The station, expected to open in September of next year, is one of four that will not just become transit points but a feast for the eyes due to their decoration.
 

Subway stations can be more than just spaces where commuters try to hectically get on or off the train.

 

Across the world, there are well-designed and elaborately ornate metro stations like in Moscow, where stepping onto the subway station can be described as a visit to a small museum or art space.

 

Soon, Bangkok commuters can also get a taste of such an experience when the MRT Blue Line's Extension begins service in September of next year. Four of the new 11 stations in the extension will be covered in artwork on the line which will stretch from the existing MRT's Hua Lamphong station to Lak Song (at Phutthamonthon Sai 4).

 

These four stations are Wat Mangkon, Sam Yot (locally known as Wang Burapha), Sanam Chai and Itsaraphap.

In contrast to the greyish, blocky stations of the present MRT, these four stations will be donned with unique, intricate designs to reflect the areas above them. This stretch of stations will run directly below Bangkok's Old Town, also known as Rattanakosin Island.

That will be a nice easy way to get to the China town area without having to figure out the buses.  

 

Very welcome & somewhat overdue.
