Nam Tok Sai Yok Noi


Nam Tok Sai Yok Noi is a small town in Sai Yok District, Kanchanaburi Province, Thailand, on the route of the Death Railway linking Thailand with Burma.
After the war most of the railway was dismantled, leaving Nam Tok at the terminus. In 2003 the 1.4 km from Nam Tok station to Nam Tok Sai Yok Noi was reopened for easier access to the nearby Sai Yok waterfall. However, as Sai Yok Noi is a single-platform terminus with no run-round loop, the line is only used by diesel multiple units. In 2010, the only services to use the extension are trains 909/910 which run an excursion to the waterfall each Saturday and Sunday.
Work to build a Trans-Asian rail linking eight countries in southeast Asia, which would restore the wartime railway to use, has not yet materialised.
, the town had a population of 3,091 and covered an area of 4.4 km2 of subdistrict Tha Sao.
