| Hualamphong Station, Bangkok |
Hualamphong Station (or Hua Lamphong Station, depending on your spelling preferences) is the main long-distance railway station for Bangkok; it's located just north of Wat Traimit on the edge of Chinatown. If you have luggage, you'll want a taxi to get here, but otherwise the new Metro system has made the station much more accessible than in the past, especially from the Silom and Sukhumvit areas of town. The station and trains are run by the State Railway of Thailand (SRT) - train timetables can be found at their website here: www.railway.co.th/English/Time_HTML.aspLots of useful information on train travel in Thailand can be found on the Seat 61 website here: www.seat61.com/Thailand.htm |
| Ticket Counter @ Hualamphong Station |
|  | I took a wander around the inside of the station on my last trip to Bangkok: here's a picture of the ticket counters. Suprisingly, this part of the station is quite well air-conditioned, despite being a fairly big area. |

| | If you need to wait for your train there's a reasonably sized seating area just back from the ticket counters. |

obviously a typical falang who finds the advert a 16oz cola full of ice you dont want ice you have to pay 5 baht extra, trades description act weights and measures, or is it not law in thailand to give quantity for the price just my thoughts | crazygal59 Mon Jan 26, 2009 21:58 UTC
We are planning our first trip to Asia. We fly into Bangkok and board our cruise ship there. We want to stay for one week in Bangkok first. How is it with the language? Will we have problems with taxi drivers etc.? Your pages are really informative. | citrusy Sun Oct 5, 2008 20:04 UTC
Hi jrs1234, was wondering how far the train station is from the Suvarnabhumi Airport. How long would it take to travel from the airport to the trainstation and the best way to get their? tuktuk, metro or skytrain (if available)? | Suzze Mon Jan 21, 2008 22:06 UTC
