This is the main train station. If you have time around, it's worth trying! You can just go there to take vintage photos here. It is so cool.

Bangkok - Hualamphong Station (Krungthep) - Bangkok's Main Railway Station, Hua Lamphong Train Station, is a huge, extremely busy, steaming hot, hanger-like building with over 20 platforms, 26 ticket booths, an Advance-Booking Office, the usual distorted announcements, and two electric display boards. Hua-lumpong Station is in the center of the city with easy access to Chinatown, the Chao phraya River, Silom and Sukhumvit areas so you can save on taxi fares and travelling time. Hualamphong Station is on Rama 4 Road, 1 km West of Silom in the Pathum Wan district. Platforms in the station are crowded with luggage carts, piles of boxes and baggage, arriving and departing passengers.

Bangkok railway station, unofficially known as Hua Lamphong station, is the main railway station in Bangkok, Thailand. It is in the center of the city in the Pathum Wan District, 24-hour public transport available. It is the main terminal to northern, eastern, northeastern and southern Thailand. It connects with the MRT underground system and features a distinct half-dome structure, designed by an Italian architect Mario Tamagno in an Italian neo-renaissance style. Apart from the destination trains, the State Railway of Thailand (SRT) operates a handful of 1-day train excursions to major regional attractions, such as Kanchanaburi, Hua Hin, Petchaburi, Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, Cha-Am, and Amphawa Floating Market. Overnight excursions are available to these destinations: Kanchanaburi, Thai-Burmese border at the 3 pagodas pass (Sangkhlaburi, Kanchanaburi), 4 northeastern regions along the Mekong, Bangkok-Nongkhai-Vientiane-Luang Prabang, Bangkok-Nonkhai-Vientiane-Hanoi-Halong Bay-Hue-Danang-Hoi An, Bangkok-Angkor Wat-Angkor Thom, and more. These excursions trains are ideal for those who have lots of time on their hands or prefer to go slow and enjoy train travelling. Each trip includes accommodation (on sleeper trains or at designated resorts), meals and guides, but excludes admission fees to landmarks, museums or monuments. it houses the Thai Railway Museum. The entrance to the museum is located at the left hand side of the grand entrance to the station, opposite the entrance to KFC restaurant. The museum is open Tuesday to Saturday from 10.00 to 18.00 (except public holidays) and admission is free. It is worth visiting if you have a few minutes to wait before your train leaves. This museum, managed by the Thai Railway Foundation, is small but packed with artefacts dating back across more than 100 years in no particular order, and without explanatory signage. The museum is not normally busy and the attendant is normally more than willing to take the opportunity to explain some of the items on display.
