Travel in Bangkok

Bangkok’s old main train, known locally as Hua Lamphong, is located in the Yaowarat (Chinatown) district of Bangkok. Yaowarat is near the Chao Praya river and a relatively short distance from the Grand Palace and Wat Arun. Yaowarat is what is sometimes described as ‘Old Bangkok’ as it used to be the commercial centre of Bangkok. In more modern times the commercial centre has shifted to areas around the Silom Road, Siam Square and the Sukhumvit Road which are ‘new Bangkok’. To get from Yaowarat to these more modern parts of Bangkok you need to take public transport or a taxi because they are much too far away to walk.

There lots of ways to travel from Bangkok Hua Lamphong Railway Station to other parts of Bangkok:

• Metro: There is an entrance to the Hua Lamphong MRT station at the Western side of the railway station, which is to your right as you exit from trains arriving in Bangkok. You can travel by metro to direct to the Silom Road, the Sukhumvit Raod, Phetchaburi MRT (for connections to the Airport Express Link) and Chatuchak Park MRT Station (for travel to Bangkok’s Northern Bus Station. You can also connect with the BTS skytrain at Silom and Sukhumvit MRT stations.
• Chao Phraya Express: Located 1.2 km is Pier Number 4 (The Marine Pier) of the Chao Phraya Express Boat service. This commuter boat service has stops near to many riverside destinations. This service is cheap and quick and a great way to travel from the train station to the Khao San Road.
• Meter Taxis: If you take a meter taxi from the official taxi rank on the West side of the station which is managed by the Thai police, meter taxis are cheaper than tuk-tuks and an excellent way to transport luggage and children around Bangkok. Taxis. however, are not necessarily quicker than travelling by Metro is you are trying to cross from ‘old Bangkok’ to ‘new Bangkok’ particularly between 17.00 and 21.00 when roads in central Bangkok become very congested. Even if money is not an issue for you taking a taxi is not necessarily the best option for travel around Bangkok if you are able to walk up and down escalators and along station platforms.
