Well then, this is the last journey.
I will return to Bangkok by train.
from Mae Klong to Ban Laem
Seats from Mae Klong station train were full.
Most of them were occupied by tourists.
However, that state was until the next station.
Almost all tourists got off, and the seat of the train became almost vacant.
It was crowded with tourists in the station and in the train.
After many tourists got off got breathed a sigh of relief.
Arrived at Ban Laem Station.
from Mahachai to Wongwian Yai
This trip will be over in about one hour later.
I don’t want to go, but I have to.
Tourists were few at this station.
And the inside of the train was relatively vacant.
I was slightly hit by the urge I wanted to get off.
Arrived at Wongwian Yai Station.
Someday, I would like to come back on this line again.

I have no choice, so I purchased food at a convenience store near the hotel.
