The Mahachai Commuter Train Short Line (15 images)

The Mahachai Shortline runs from the Thonburi side of Bangkok to Samut Sakhon. From Samut Sakhon travelers cross a river and walk to a tiny crossing to continue on to Samut Sangkhram. The whole journey, about 70 miles, takes a little over three hours.

Not many tourists ride the train. Most of the passengers are going to the markets to buy fresh seafood or coming into Bangkok for their jobs.
