Kantang Railway Station

Kantang Railway Station is a historic wooden terminus in Kantang town, Trang Province, southern Thailand. Opened in 1913 as the end of the Southern Line branch from Thung Song Junction, it is noted for its distinctive mustard-yellow colonial-style building with wooden detailing. Registered as an ancient monument by the Fine Arts Department, the station remains operational for passenger services and is a popular heritage and photography attraction in Kantang District.

Visitors can expect a well-preserved single-storey wooden station painted mustard-yellow with dark brown trim, featuring a gabled roof, wooden shutters and a platform facing the tracks. The building houses a waiting hall and ticket office and retains vintage signage and railway memorabilia. The station is still operational as a terminus, so visitors can see arriving and departing trains, walk along the platform, photograph the colonial architecture and explore the small station grounds in a quiet town setting near the Trang River.

Built and opened on 1 April 1913 during the reign of King Rama VI as the terminus of the Southern Line's Kantang Branch from Thung Song Junction to the Andaman coast. The wooden station building was constructed to serve Kantang as a former trading port and provincial capital. It is one of the oldest remaining wooden railway stations in Thailand and was registered as an ancient monument by the Fine Arts Department.

A landmark symbol of Kantang town and its heritage as a historic port and railway town. The preserved colonial-style wooden architecture reflects early 20th-century railway heritage and is a focal point for local identity, heritage tourism and photography. The station remains a functioning community transport hub.
