Suphan Buri Line is a railway line in Western Thailand, opened on 16 June 1963, by Prime Minister Sarit Thanarat. There were initially 16 stations, but only seven stations now remain in operation. The line branches off from the Southern Line.
The line was originally planned as a bypass route passing through Ang Thong Province and crossing the Chao Phraya River to connect with the Northern and Northeastern Lines at Ban Phachi Junction, but construction was halted before it reached that point.
Only one train runs daily on this route. It departs Bangkok at 4:40 p.m. and arrives in Suphan Buri at 7:40 p.m. The return trip leaves Suphan Buri at 4:40 a.m. and reaches Bangkok at 8:10 a.m.
