Lak Hok

Its name "Lak Hok" means "sixth milepost", refers to sixth milepost of Khlong Prem Prachakon, a canal that dug in King Rama V's reign bridging downtown Bangkok to Bang Pa-in district in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya province.

In the King Rama IV's reign, Phra Phison Sombat Boribun, the courtier of the Kromma Tha Sai (the equivalent of the department of Chinese affairs in Siam) brought the Chinese to pioneer the cultivation of sugarcane, including building a sugarcane mill.

[3] The terrain is a lowland with the Chao Phraya River running through the middle, which is separated into many different canals and waterways.

The local population is engaged in a variety of occupations, including agriculture, employment, civil service, and trading.

But the railway halt, which located straddling between Lak Hok and Khu Khot (rail tracks are borderline) and paralleled by Kamphaeng Phet 6 Road, was permanently deactivated since September 15, 2020 along with two consecutive railway halts, due to replacements by the SRT Dark Red Line.
