The station is classified as the fourth class of railway station and is 249.94 km (155 mi) from Bangkok railway station (Hua Lamphong).

The station building is a striking high space under the colonial-style wooden building, built circa 1937.[1]

A serial killer, Somkid Phumphuang who was a dubbed "Thai Jack the Ripper", while fleeing the arrest of the police, was arrested on the train on the morning of December 18, 2019 at Pak Chong railway station. That's because the police have received clues from a young student who boarded the same train as him at this station.[2]

gollark: I mean, for Python code, your thing is running in the same interpreter and can probably do horrible python stuff.
