Hualamphong Railway Station


Hualamphong Railway Station


                            Hualamphong Railway Station - Royal State Railway of Siam (RSE) was conceived by the British company Punchard McTaggart Lowther and Co. In 1887, While the first line to Korat was constructed by British engineer G. Murray Campbell, with rail service commencing in 1894.


                                  The next place that I recommend everyone to go is Hua lamphong Station which is the main railway station in Bangkok.First, let get some information from this place.Hualumphong was opened on June 25, 1916 which mean this station have been opened for almost 100 years.Everyone in Thailand whether children or old know this station well because it stand by Thailand for a long long time.


                                  The station was built in an Italian Neo-Renaissance-style, with decorated wooden roofs and stained glass windows. The architecture is attributed to Turin-born Mario Tamagno, who with countryman Annibale Rigotti(1870–1968) was also responsible for the design of several other early 20th century public buildings in Bangkok. So the station was decorated in old style which is very beautiful and make us think about the past.


                              Thailand is the only country that old trains are used for main transportation. In my opinion,I think this station should stand along with Thai people all the way because we affiliate with this station since we are young. For me , I have been travel by train many times in my life. When our family want to go to other province we always used the trains.

                           There are 14 platforms, 26 ticket booths, and two electric display boards. Hua Lamphong serves over 130 trains and approximately 60,000 passengers each day. Since 2004 the station has been connected by an underground passage to the MRT (Metropolitan Rapid Transit) subway system's Hua Lamphang Station. And this make it easier to come to Hualamphong station because the mrt has extensive connection around Bangkok.Lastly, I would recommend all of you to go to this place once in a life time if you come to Bangkok you will palpate with the old mephitis of the trains and that will make you travel back in time. So good luck all of you and I hope you enjoy the trip in Thailand.
