Hua Hin railway station is a train station located in Hua Hin Subdistrict, Hua Hin District, Prachuap Khiri Khan Province, and is located 212.99 kilometres (132.3 mi) from Thon Buri railway station and 850 m (0.5 mi) from the beach. It is a class 1 railway station on the Su-ngai Kolok Main Line of the Southern Line.

On the premises, there is an old 305 Unit Baldwin steam locomotive on display. Hua Hin Station has been considered to be the most beautiful station in Thailand. Therefore, it is popular as a landmark and a photo spot of Hua Hin for visitors.[1]

## History

[edit]

The Southern Line third phase between Cha-am Station to Hua Hin opened in November 1911, and the line continued to Wang Phong Station in January 1914. The original station building was built in 1910, and rebuilt in 1926, by Prince Purachatra Jayakara (former commander of the Royal State Railways of Siam) to the current Victorian building today. The design was taken from the planned Siam Rat Museum Expo, intended to be built in 1925 at Lumphini Park, but was never built due to the death of King Vajiravudh and the cancellation of the expo by King Prajadhipok.

In 1967, Colonel Saeng Chulacharit (former minister of the State Railway of Thailand) coordinated the relocation of the Sanam Chandra Palace Railway Pavilion from Sanam Chandra Palace, to Hua Hin and it was renamed to "Phramongkutklao Pavilion". It is one of the main attractions at the station.

Hua Hin station was reconstructed as an elevated station as part of the double-tracking project of the Southern Line. It opened on 11 December 2023. The former station and Phramongkutklao pavilion will be preserved and maintained as a historic building by the Fine Arts Department.[2][3]
