Ban Phachi Junction (Thai: สถานีชุมทางบ้านภาชี, RTGS: Sathani Chumthang Ban Phachi) is a railway junction located in Phachi District, Ayutthaya Province, Thailand. It is a Class 1 Station and serves as a junction for the North and Northeastern Line of the State Railway of Thailand. Ban Phachi Junction had to be rebuilt after the Second World War after being hit by Allied Bombing. Some special express and express trains do not call at this station.
Ban Phachi was also known for its "Phachi" Coconut Ice Cream sold by hawkers with trays walking along platforms and is normally eaten using a plastic straw. The dessert is quite famous and has been mentioned on some Thai television shows. But since the beginning of August 2018, sales ended permanently.
