About Train Stations in Bangkok
Most foreign visitors to Bangkok only ever use Bangkok’s own main train station, Hua Lamphong, which was the start and finish point for nearly all railways lines in Thailand. Depending on your final destination, however, Hua Lamphong Railway Station may not be the best station at which the leave the train. Hua Lamphong Railway Station is located in Bangkok’s China Town area near to the Chao Phraya River.
If you are planning to travel to the Khao San Road area of Bangkok, or to visit the Grand Palace or the temples in Rattanakosin Island, or to stay in China Town, then it makes sense for you to continue your journey all the way to Hua Lamphong at the end of the train line. However, if you are planning to travel to most other parts of Bangkok, or to either of the two airports in Bangkok, then you will find it quicker to leave the train at Krung Thep Aphiwat Central Terminal and continue your journey by local transport.

Krung Thep Aphiwat Central Terminal is located to the North of Bangkok main 5 stops (7.47 km) before Hua Lamphong Railway Station. This last stretch of railway line from Krung Thep Aphiwat Central Terminal to Hua Lamphong is the most congested part of Thailand’s railway network and trains move very slowly through this part of Central Bangkok, and it is common for this last part of the journey to take 30 to 40 minutes and sometimes longer. If you alight at Krung Thep Aphiwat Central Terminal you can walk out of the train station and straight into the adjacent MRT (metro) station. Bangkok’s metro service runs south from Krung Thep Aphiwat Central Terminal to Hua Lamphong Train Station via popular destinations in Bangkok such as the Sukhumvit Road and the Silom Road. Bang Sue Train Station is also close to Bangkok’s Northern Bus Terminal (5.2 km by taxi) and Don Mueang Airport (17.2 km). For journeys to the Sukhumvit Road area in particular if you alight at Krung Thep Aphiwat Central Terminal and take the metro you normally find that you arrive at the Sukhumvit Road before the train you were travelling on even gets into Hua Lamphong Train Station.
