Maeklong Line

editar

The Maeklong Railway, also operated by the SRT, is independent of the national rail network and is split into two sections. The line begins at Wongwian Yai in Bangkok before terminating at the Mahachai station in Samut Sakhon, where a ferry is used by passengers to cross the Tha Chin River. The line starts again across the river at Ban Laem and continues until the Mae Klong station of Samut Songkhram.[2][3]
