If you have never been there before you may get confused by looking at the train timetable as there are two towns called Bang Saphan. One is called Yai (meaning big) and the other is called Noi (meaning small).

For tourists heading to the beaches around here, you want to go to "Yai" as this is the station closest to the beaches. This is also the station where the train stops the most.
