This station is very close from Chao Phraya River.
It is a very convenient station.
But, I have one point of caution.
The platform is two-story.
You should check the destination before getting on.

The train going to Bang Wa station is heading to the river direction.
Since then, I have taken the station name mark of the passing station.

I took photos the station name on the platform every time the train stopped each.
The stop time was a little, but the photos could be taken well.
