The station building has been in use since 1913 until it was demolished and rebuilt in 1969 until now. As a result of the establishment of a railway station in 1913, the surrounding area has built various buildings such as hotels or shophouses on Rama VI Road, the first official road of the Trang. In the past, when the transportation was not prosperous, residents of other provinces such as Phuket or Surat Thani must use this station to travel by train to Bangkok. Most of the buildings on Rama VI Road are Sino-Portuguese architecture.[1]
