🛤️ This check-in location is located in Tambon Khuan Khoi, Amphoe Ron Phibun, Nakhon Si Thammarat Province. It is recommended because it is not mass-market but has a classic, ancient style.

🌳 This place is called "Chum Thong Khao Chum Thong". His Majesty King Rama VI granted permission to change the name to Chum Thong Khao Chum Thong Railway Station. It was originally built in 1914 to be a connecting station between Nakhon Si Thammarat Railway Station, Thung Song Junction Railway Station and Hat Yai Junction Railway Station.
It is also important because it was used as a water and firewood refueling station for steam locomotives until 1982, when the steam locomotives were discontinued.

🧩 Highlights: See the ancient architectural buildings with unique designs that are in line with the use and hot and humid climate of Thailand.
