Democracy Monument station is an under construction MRT rapid transit in Phra Nakhon, Bangkok.[1] It will be an interchange station of the Orange Line and Purple Line.[2] [3] The station will be located adjacent to Democracy Monument on Ratchadamnoen Avenue.[4]
The station was previously named Phan Fa after the nearby bridge. The station's planned location has come under criticism from residents and conservationists over its potential impact on historic shophouses, some of which are over 80 years old. The Fine Arts Department's approval of the station is pending.
