Mae Klong Station : State Railway of Thailand

City : Mae Klong, Samut Songkhram, Thailand
Railway line : Mae Klong Line

I came to this station by transferring a train from the Wongwian Yai station.
Among the stations passed through, this station was the most crowded place with tourists. Because this is one of the most famous stations in Thailand.

  Train departure                            

The train that I got on will go back to Ban Laem station.
This line has few operations.
4 round trip a day, that's all.
Therefore, the spare train was not waiting at this station.

This is also the entrance to the railway market.

At this time, I did not board the boat.

  Train arrival                     

I waited for the train arriving at the back of the station.
I judged that taking photo from this place does not prevent the progress of the train.
