Unique
Bang Phai MRT station's steel footbridge
This station is unique in that it differs from other stations in that it has a steel footbridge crosses over the tracks to the other side. Created for the purpose of inviting the relics of the Buddha along the canal in the annual Chak Phra festival of nearby Wat Nang Chi only, because the relics are sacred. So it will not pass under any bridge or road at all.[2]
