Kantang Station is located 25 kilometers south of Trang. It opened in 1913 as Trang Station due to its proximity to the port and quickly became an important freight hub for goods from Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia. Originally, the line terminated 500 meters further on at the port, where goods were loaded. However, this section was dismantled in 1960, and Kantang has been the terminus ever since. The yellow and brown wooden station building is a protected historical monument. It has never been demolished or renovated, only maintained; the entire wooden structure and architecture are original. The mustard-yellow facades and elements with dark brown edges make it a unique station in Thailand. This yellow and red color combination is also commonly found at other wooden stations in the country, such as the historic Hua Hin Station. Kantang Station operates continuously. Among the passengers who disembark there daily are some who wish to visit the historic station. It is one of the oldest railway stations in Thailand and certainly one of the most beautiful!

Since the train station is still in operation, admission is free. Right next door is the small, popular café "Love Station," and opposite the station there is a bicycle rental shop if you would like to explore Kantang by bike.
