On our way to the station, we bought breakfast at Seven Eleven convenience store, and tried to eat it at Don Mueang station.
Though I tried to go to the downtown of Bangkok by train, the fact that we had to wait 2 hours for the next train discouraged me to do so.

Light Red Line passing through Bang Son is under construction. But, I could see interior of the station. Local people were walking on concourse floor.

For Japanese tourists, these Japanese letters seem strange

I guess the sentense was intended to translate "Increase customers", but actually means "Increase accounts of commerce"

What we boarded was the special express No.37 bound for Sungai Kolok.
But, even after the departure time, the train was still staying at the station.
30 mins later, the train began to move and but go back and forth repeatedly.
Though I don't know the reason why the train was delayed, a man tried to connect coaches to the other coaches pulled by locomotives.
Finally, train managed to depart from Hua Lamphong station

We got off the train at Hua Hin, and walked all the way to today's hotel.
Before getting there, we planned to ride songthaew, which is a minibus in Thailand.
The train was so delayed that we had to take a walk to the hotel.
