Is that correct though because the train line from Samut Sakhon to Samut Songkhram is stand alone. The main line goes inland a bit e.g. Bangkok to Hua Hin trains pass through places such as Ratchaburi.
Yes, mainly because at that time there were not very many bridges across the river in Bangkok, especily from the where the Palace is now.
