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).

Itsaraphap Station Traditional sign
gollark: Okay.
gollark: Hmm, yes. Might be safer to use an antimatter bomb, though.
gollark: What if we create AR glasses which blot out all people on tracks and in similar situations so nobody has responsibility?
gollark: I mean, a laser powerful enough to stop the train would probably create more problems for the people on the tracks than just the molten or vaporized or whatever metal.
gollark: The real solution is a very powerful laser. Not only will it slow down via radiation pressure, but when the front of the train ablates it'll slow down further.
