Train stations in Thailand, first station Hua Lamphong in Bangkok
Hua Lumphon train station in Bangkok |
Construction of this train station started in 1910 and it was officially opened in 1916. The official name is Sathani Rotfai Krungthep in Thai. And in English Bangkok Station, but the informal name Hua Lamphong is used worldwide and even by Thai. The word Lamphong is sometimes also written as Lumphon or Lampong. The station is slated to be closed in 2019 when the new central train station will be moved to Bang Sue. Hua Lamphong train station will then be turned into a museum (with connection to the MRT). If you like old Thai train stations then hurry up and visit them all as modernisation is destroying beautiful history!
