Sanam Chai station (Thai: สถานีสนามไชย, pronounced [sā.tʰǎː.nīː sā.nǎːm t͡ɕʰāj]) is a Bangkok MRT rapid transit station on the Blue Line. The station is located underground under Sanam Chai Road. During the excavation of the site to build the station, multiple historical artifacts were found, such as coins from the reign of King Mongkut and King Chulalongkorn. These were given to the Fine Arts Department and Museum Siam for preservation and research. An exhibition was planned to display these artifacts at concourse level under Exit 1.[1] This was opened to the public as the first museum in Thailand located underground on 27 November 2020, free of charge.[2]
