★★Worth it·Heritage rail terminus
Thonburi Railway Station
สถานีธนบุรี
The tucked-away terminus behind Siriraj where the Kanchanaburi trains leave — the Death Railway day trip starts on this platform.
The tucked-away terminus behind Siriraj where the Kanchanaburi trains leave — third-class carriages, open windows, the River Kwai line's whole romance for a hundred baht. One train leaves in the morning (around 07:45) and one in the afternoon (around 13:55); take the morning one.

Using it
- Rail and boat services run to headways rather than published minute-by-minute timetables; the atlas quotes typical times, never a schedule.
- Stored-value cards work within a single operator, not across all of them.
Check fares, first and last service, and ticket types when you arrive — we have no verified official site for this one.
