Bang Khun Non station's viaduct

In addition, the station also has another feature: there is a viaduct crosses over the tracks from side to side, over the platforms. It was created to bring the Buddha's relics to the other side at the Chak Phra Festival held annually during the month of November, a local traditional festival in Thonburi area, since Buddha's relics are sacred objects therefore does not pass under any bridge or road at all. Only this station and Bang Phai station are unique.[2]
