Krung Thep Aphiwat Central Terminal is currently the main long distance railway station in Bangkok. In January 2023 the departure point from all long distance services from Bangkok switched from the old main train station, Hua Lamphong, to Krung Thep Aphiwat Central Terminal. Hua Lamphong Railway Station is still operating as a terminus for local train services and special train tour services.
