The Maeklong Railway also known as the Mae Klong Railway is a 1,000 mm 3 ft 3 3âÂâ8 in Metre gauge railway that runs for nearly 67 kilometres 42 mi between Wongwian Yai, Bangkok, and Samut Songkhram in central Thailand. The line consists of two sections: the eastern Mahachai Line, which runs between Samut Sakhon and Wongwian Yai with 18 stations; and the Ban Laem Line, which runs between Samut Sakhon and Samut Songkhram with 15 stations. The two stretches are separated by the Tha Chin River at Samut Sakhon. The only way to connect between the stations on the opposite sides of the river is by boat.
