Itsaraphap MRT station

Itsaraphap station (Thai: สถานีอิสรภาพ, RTGS: Sathani Itsaraphap, pronounced [sā.tʰǎː.nīː ʔìt.sā.rā.pʰâːp]) is a Bangkok MRT rapid transit station on the Blue Line, located underground under Itsaraphap Road located in Bangkok, Thailand. The station is decorated in gold to reflect the old Thonburi Palace and designed with swan motifs to reflect the nearby Wat Hong Rattanaram (lit. Swan Temple).[1] Currently, it is the only underground station on the Thonburi side of Bangkok (west side of Chao Phraya River).
