There is also a specialty at this station that is recommended for those who pass this station. That is the "Phachi" Coconut Ice Cream sold by hawkers with trays walking along platforms and is normally eaten using a plastic straw (as it will melt easily). The dessert is quite famous and has been mentioned on some Thai shows. But since the beginning of August 2018 Phachi Coconut Ice Cream was sold at this junction, sales ended permanently.
