As for the pillars in station and the ticket office, the shape and characteristic of the Sam Yot Arch (one of the Royal Grand Palace's outer city gates that was once located at eponymous intersection before the expansion of Charoen Krung Road) is used as decoration to convey the history of the area.

The interior of the station also displays pictures of the old days giving insight to the history and origin of the location to passerby.

Sam Yot is an area bustling with activity, due to the presence of nearby shopping centres, including; Pratu Phi, Khlong Thom, Saphan Han, Phahurat, Sampheng, The Old Siam Plaza, Ban Mo, Pak Khlong Talat, Sala Chalermkrung, leading education institutes such as; Poh-Chang Academy of Arts and Suankularb Wittayalai School, and the important historical sites; Giant Swing and Wat Suthat.

[2][1] During archaeological excavations to build the station, a number of ancient artifacts, all of which are related to trams were discovered.

The station will connect to the MRT Purple Line once the southern extension from Tao Poon to Rat Burana is completed.
