- What's Good HereAugust 13, 2014A great way to visit Ayutthaya is to take a train from here. Get cheap, first class roundtrip for a day trip. The schedule is regular. The ride is scenic. Try dishes at the food court here w/ locals.

Jasper EspejoJuly 19, 2011Book your overnight sleeper ticket in advance. I didnt and will be spending 2 night to and from chiangmai in the seated 2nd class.
AyeMarch 13, 2014So much smoother this leg compared to hadyai to bkk. Lots of beer drinking in our car, very loud also. The staff finally explained to the loud passengers it is a sleeper train, not a party train. :-)
mizz linFebruary 22, 2015Front row seats are reserved for monks. Luggage storage room stinks of pee. MRT subway is Hua Lamphong as well. Cross over to Srikrung Hotel across a small bridge for a decent tasty meal.Upvoted 3 days ago
Maynard TannAugust 22, 2016Older architecture, nice to take photos. Would do that early in the morning before it's crowded.
David WillmoreAugust 16, 2018Variety of food and drink options. Black Canyon (second floor) has good baked goods, Dunkin’ Donuts has surprisingly good Thai bubble tea- Mars DemonalanamaahJanuary 27, 2012Definitely cross over the road and try the 35B fried rice from any street side restaurant. An institution!
- Gavin GoldenSeptember 11, 2010Pretty good selection of English language books in the 'Bookazine' shop! 450 baht though - more than my 12 hour rail ticket.
There is TrueWifi in station. Check out different location inside. Signal is available outside Platform 3 and the side walk
Wai MinJune 6, 2013Buy tickets for the 5.50 train to Aranyaprathet to travel to Cambodia or Vietnam via the Poipet border. Costs 48 THB!
The officers here can not speak English well. U should ask the Information Counter near there's Subway station or ask subway officers.
Don't forget to add at least 2 hours from the time on your ticket!! Nover be punctual!! :(- BirgerJuly 13, 2018If you can choose, do not take the special express. You'll pay extra for the food, which is definitely not worth it. Also: no vegetarian options. Take the express instead.
- Naoki FerrioFebruary 10, 2019Buy train ticket to Ayutthaya for 15 baht/person. The train takes 2 hours from Bangkok to Ayutthaya.
Check your train and platform. Do not leave your belonging without you. Entrance on side not main in the front for security. #oldestrailwaystation #bangkok #thailand #thairailway
Cyrille Mortale-Van OppenOctober 14, 2013There are people around the station who ask where you go, ignore!!!! These people are trying to sell expensive bus tickets or want to take you to a travel agency. Always go directly to the counter.
banyueJanuary 8, 2013The ticket count sells joint train-bus-ferry tickets. Don't get fooled by travel agencies.
Aum Korakrit August 23, 2011Sometime you don't have to go to the most famous expensive places, you can feel the way of happiness classic travel.
Have some fake TV here, i dunno why they have it.
Tat BunnagJanuary 31, 2017First time on the new train. It was ok.. the only complaint was the food, pretty bad.
Stepan KornyakovDecember 24, 2012Pineapples are good, and I'm still alive after a couple of hours of eating them.
Misai SipmsiaFebruary 17, 2014Muslim food need to across the road took rat roaf beside 7e then go straight n turn left. Only 300 meter from kfc railway
- j lNovember 19, 2019The train station here looks like such a mess. Many homeless sleep right outside. Definitely not somewhere to hang around.
Travel by trains in Thailand. You've got to make you mind. It does not develop since it built.
Teddie Wong .August 31, 2011There more seats on the 2nd floor....way better than sitting on the floor
Chanin RuangApril 24, 2012What a retro place! I feel like I'm back to 1960s. Nothing ever changed since then.
Nree TanthaNovember 8, 2010Better look for food shop or restaurant outside instead of food court inside Hualumpong. Expensive and the place is not ok
