Makkasan Railway-station is a small-medium station along the Eastern Line in Bangkok. It is located between Khlong Tan Station and Bangkok Station (Hua Lamphong). I did pass this station while taking a commuter train from Pattaya to Hua Lamphong main-station in Bangkok. It is amazing that in modern Bangkok, this other world still exists. All photos were taken in 2024.
Although Makkasan is actually an insignificant railway-station, it is bigger as the other small stations as behind it used to be the State Railways Thailand train-depot & repair service. It is a huge plot of land in the middle of Bangkok that is slated to be turn into shopping malls and condos. I will have to visit it soon before it is lost in time.
I love traveling by train, especially in Thailand where it is like traveling in time. It is like an open-air museum. Not only the trains itself but especially the train stations. They look like they have not changed since they build the first railroad lines in Thailand in 1889. I made a serie of train stations under the tag TRAIN STATIONS. Let's visit them before they will be lost in time, like tears in the rain.
Following are more photos, click on the photo to enlarge. This travelogue follows my traveling in Thailand (and beyond) with in between information that might help you when traveling in Thailand.
