"Pha Sadet Phak" or commonly known as "Pha Sadet" It is an important historical site on the Northeastern Railway Line, where King Chulalongkorn and Queen Savang Vadhana (Queen Saovabha Phongsri) visited this sub-district when the Bangkok - Nakhon Ratchasima railway line was built. #Pha Sadet Phak is located between Map Kabao Station and Pha Sadet Station on the Northeastern Line, in the Dong Phaya Yen mountain range. It has a historical story as follows: "On December 22, 1896 (R.S. 115), His Majesty traveled with Queen Saovabha Phongsri along the Pa Sak River and came ashore. He continued by train from his residence into the forest until he reached the end of the railway at that time (Hin Lap Sub-district) at around 3 p.m. He got off the train and continued on the path that had not yet been laid across two streams. Then he arrived at the large stone at this cliff at 5 pm. He ordered the inscription of his royal initials “J.P.R.” meaning his royal initials, “S.P.” meaning the name of Queen Saovabha Phongsri, and the number “115” meaning the year he came. He also named this stone “Pha Sadet Phak” and placed it on the cliff. -------------------------------------- Currently, “Pha Sadet Phak” is a historical tourist attraction in Saraburi Province.

#GetDiscountWithoutLuck Pha Sadet Tunnel is a single-track double tunnel of the State Railway of Thailand. It is located between Muak Lek and Kaeng Khoi districts, Saraburi province. It is currently the longest railway tunnel in Thailand. It is located between Map Kabao and Hin Lap train stations. It was first opened on July 28, 2024. However, due to the problem of dust particles entering the carriages as the trains passed through this tunnel, the tunnel had to be temporarily closed for cleaning and dust removal, and the opening of the tunnel was postponed. However, on December 16, 2024, the tunnel was reopened. After that, you will enter Hin Lap Tunnel, a single-track double tunnel with a distance of 0.25 kilometers. The experience of surviving a tunnel of more than 5 kilometers for the first time in the country will create good memories.

#100 ways to travel Pha Sadet Railway Station, one of the railway stations on the Isan route that is about to be cancelled Because the railway section through the original Dong Phaya Yen mountain range after passing Map Kabao Railway Station will gradually cut along the mountain range, curving left and right along the mountain ridge, going around and around, unable to travel at high speed Because in the past, the SRT had to cut the railway to go around the mountain due to the construction technology at that time Currently, the SRT is initially constructing a new route between Map Kabao Station and Muak Lek Mai by tunneling in the Pha Sadet area, a total length of 5.8 kilometers, passing under the Dong Phaya Yen mountain range at Thap Kwang and Rong Poon, including some of the original railway route Therefore, in the near future, Pha Sadet Station will have to be cancelled for travel to use the newly built route for the convenience and speed of travel for passengers on the Isan line
