Trang Railway Station

Trang Railway Station is a historic railway station in Thap Thiang Subdistrict, Mueang Trang District, Trang city, southern Thailand. Opened in 1913 as part of the Southern Line's Kantang Branch, it serves as the main station for Trang Province. The station is notable for its preserved early-20th-century architecture, its role as a transport hub connecting Trang to Bangkok and southern destinations, and its status as a local landmark near the city centre.

Visitors can expect a functioning provincial railway station with a historic single-storey station building, covered platforms, tracks and signage in Thai and English. The setting is urban and flat in central Trang, surrounded by roads, shops and food stalls. Visitors can view the heritage architecture, watch trains arrive and depart, use the waiting hall and ticket counters, and explore the immediate station area. The station serves as a transit point rather than a large museum complex.

Opened in April 1913 during the reign of King Rama VI as part of the extension of the Southern Line to Trang and Kantang. It was built as the principal station for Trang Province on the Kantang Branch, which historically served as the gateway for rubber and trade from the Andaman coast. The station building retains its original early-20th-century architectural character and remains in continuous railway use for over a century.

Serves as a landmark and gateway to Trang city for residents and visitors, reflecting the province's early modern transport heritage. The station area is a familiar community hub and meeting point, and is often included in local city tours alongside nearby cultural sites in Thap Thiang.
