Via Thon Buri railway station
Thon Buri Station in Bangkok Noi, on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River near Siriraj Hospital, is the starting point for trains to Kanchanaburi and the River Kwai. It is a small regional station, not one of the city's main stations. Regular Kanchanaburi Line trains depart from here, not from Hua Lamphong or Krung Thep Aphiwat.
Trains 257 and 259 depart for Kanchanaburi, the Bridge on the River Kwai, and Nam Tok at 7:45 a.m. and 1:55 p.m., respectively. Return journeys depart at 9:35 a.m. and 5:40 p.m. Foreigners pay a flat fare of 100 baht for travel to any station on the route, while Thais pay 25 baht. Tickets are only available at the ticket counter on the day of travel, and seat reservations are not possible. Therefore, it is recommended to arrive at the station 30 to 60 minutes before departure. Third-class local trains also depart from the station southwards to Hua Hin.
The easiest way to reach the city from the east bank is by taking the Chao Phraya Express Boat to Thonburi Station, from where it's just a short walk. For the return journey, Charan Sanitwong Station, near Bang Khun Non MRT Station, is a convenient stop for getting off the train.

Tips for visiting the transport sector
Grab is the Uber of Southeast Asia and is available throughout Thailand for cars, motorbike taxis, and in some cities even tuk-tuks. It eliminates the need for haggling and shows the fare upfront. Top up a Thai SIM card or use an eSIM to stay connected.
Always photograph any existing damage to the scooter before setting off and keep your passport safe – hand over a copy instead (some shops insist on the original; avoid these). Wear a helmet; the police will fine you 500 THB for not wearing one, and accidents without a helmet will result in the loss of your insurance coverage.
