Bangkok Railway Station (GPS: 13.73881, 100.51658; Thai: สถานีรถไฟกรุงเทพ ) a big railway terminus in Bangkok. Inofficially known as the Hua Lamphong Railway Station (สถานีหัวลำโพง ) It is the railway hub for all the railway lines in Thailand. It is located on the southern end of the Pathum Wan district.

The terminal building of Bangkok Railway Station was built in the Italian Renaissance style - some say it was modelled after the Mancester Railway Station, not sure how much that is true. Hua Lamphong was open on 25 June, 1916, after a six-year construction period. The station has 14 platforms and 26 ticketing booths. Over 130 trains stop at Hualamphong every day, carrying about 60,000 passengers.

When Hua Lamphong Railway Station was built, the city centre was at Rattanakosin, putting the railway station to the east. Over the years, places like Ratchaprasong has developed to be the new downtown area, putting Hua Lamphong to the west of the new city centre.

Since 2004, passengers can also take the MRT subway train from Hualamphong to other parts of Bangkok.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
