In World War II, the Imperial Japanese Army used the station as a base for military activity. The station and the Chulachomklao Bridge (then named Tha Kham) across the Tapi were both bombed in May 1945 by American aircraft. The SRT, then known as the Royal State Railways of Siam, built a temporary station called Surat Thani 2 to replace the old station while it was being rebuilt.[citation needed]
Surat Thani 2 railway station was demolished after the Chulachomklao Bridge was reopened for traffic in a ceremony on 16 February 1953, and the new Surat Thani Station building was finished in 1954.[citation needed]
Train servicesEdit
Currently,[when?] Surat Thani railway station serves 28 trains per day, all of them served by SRT.
The red bus connects the railway station with downtown Surat Thani City, leaving every 15 minutes. Minibuses to other districts such as Chaiya, Wiang Sa, and Ban Na, are also available.
NotesEdit
Rapid train No. 167 Bangkok - Kantang arrives here at about 7.47 a.m. daily and stops for about 15 minutes to remove some of the carriages.
Rapid train No. 174 Nakhon Si Thammarat - Bangkok arrives here at about 4.47 p.m. daily. After all passengers have boarded, the locomotive will be removed to bring 3 carriages to connect to the train before departing.
