Hua Lamphong station is Bangkok’s main railway station run and managed by the state railway of Thailand, connecting the capital to the far reaches of the country. It is a station that is known by lots of names that it can get really confusing, especially for first time travelers.
The official name of the station is Sathani Rotfai Krung Thep. The official English translation is Bangkok railway Station. In lots of other parts of Thailand, it is referred to as Krung Thep Station. (Krung Thep indicates Bangkok in Thai.) but for some reason that is still unclear to me, it is known among foreign tourists as Hua Lamphong. It is said that Hua Lamphong was the name of the road or canal or another train station that used to take its place.
If there are no direct flights from where you are to your destination in Thailand, try to search for flights first. Flights within Thailand are incredibly affordable. but if for whatever reason you want to travel by train, that’s fine too! (I love train travel, too!) For that, you will need to first make your way to Hua Lamphong Station.
Hua Lamphong’s days as the central station seem to be numbered. There are plans to replace it with and step the central status to Bang sue central Station, which won’t be completed until 2020. For now, Hua Lamphong remains Bangkok’s a lot of crucial train terminal.
