Hua Lamphong closing in 2 years

Recommended Posts

From Bangkok Post

 

By Wichan Charoenkiatpakul

 

Every day, thousands of people from all walks of life pass through Hua Lamphong railway station in Bangkok. The station has been serving travellers in Thailand for more than. 100 years. Some are full of hope of finding a new life in the big city on arrival. Some are bidding farewell to their families and friends. Some are lost in the flow of people. Hua Lamphong has witnessed lots of emotions.

 

The station was considered modern when it opened in 1916 after six years of construction, but in the next few years Hua Lamphong will become a memory. The State Railway of Thailand plans to relocate Bangkok’s central station to Bang Sue in 2019. Hua Lamphong will then be turned into a museum.
