Bangkok, Thailand — A Day Trip on the Artistic Train to Phutthamonthon
Thailand's Phutthamonthon district is truly a hidden gem, especially since it's so close to Bangkok. If you have time during your trip to Bangkok, I highly recommend a visit. There are many ways to enjoy Phutthamonthon, and today I want to introduce a fresh and artistic way to do so: a day trip on the train from Bangkok to Phutthamonthon and back!
🚉Transportation
The largest train station in Thailand is Hua Lamphong Railway Station. The simplest way is to buy a ticket and board the train directly from here, you can't go wrong.
👍Recommended Destinations:
1⃣ Get off at Nakhon Chaisi Station. This little train station is super small, but it's very artistic and fresh. The beautiful little houses are the train station itself. Bougainvillea and other tropical flowers line the tracks, and just sitting on the stone benches nearby makes for a stunning photo. There's also a fish pond next to the station's house with lots of beautiful tropical fish. When the train stops, you can even take photos that look like they're straight out of a drama series.
2⃣ Wat Klang Bang Kaeo is a free temple complex with temples of different styles. With almost no tourists, it's perfect for taking great photos. The temples' varying colors and styles give the impression of being in different places. From the bridge next to the temple complex, you can also capture the homes of Thai people living by the river, which are very characteristic. You can take a motorcycle taxi directly from the train station here, and it only costs 40 Thai Baht per person.
