Hua Lampong Station

Opened in  1916 during the reign of the forward-thinking King Rama V, Hua Lampong Station is one of the most important landmarks in Bangkok. After a tour through Europe, during which he was greatly impressed by European rail, His Majesty King Rama V promoted the construction of a European-style rail system in Thailand. The very first rail line in the country connected the capital to the beach resort town Hua Hin, and now the rail network spans the kingdom from north to south.

Hua Lampong Station is built in a neo-Renaissance style and is considered one of the most beautiful buildings in Bangkok.
