Lumphini MRT station (Thai: สถานีลุมพินี, pronounced [sā.tʰǎː.nīː lūm.pʰī.nīː]; code BL25) is a Bangkok MRT station on the Blue Line, in Thailand. It is located on Rama IV Road, near Witthayu Road and Lumphini Park. Although the station's name refers to Lumphini Park, the Rama VI Monument that is the main sight of the park is closer to Si Lom MRT station.
