A new train station "Bang Sue Central Station" in Bangkok is set to transform rail travel in Thailand and will be largest train station in Southeast Asia in 2020.
Bang Sue Railway Station
Bang Sue Railway Station is 7.47 km from Bangkok Train Station.
Bang Sue Railway Station is also known as Bang Sue Junction because it serves as a junction point for the three major Intercity Train Lines in Thailand:
Northern Line
North Eastern Line
Southern Line
Bang Sue Railway Station has two 4 platforms.
With the exception of services on the Eastern Line, all intercity trains which depart from Bangkok’s main train station (Hua Lamphong) stop on route at Bang Sue Railway Station.
Many Thai travellers choose to board and alight intercity trains at Bang Sue Railway Station rather than Hua Lamphong Railway Station because it is more convenient for onward travel.
