Bueng Bang Sue

Stepping onto the platform at Bueng Bang Sue, you feel the energy of a bustling city. Bueng Bang Sue, a district of Bangkok, is named for its history. The locals called it “community of faithful.” This name comes from a folklore story about King Uthong. The locals responded with truthfulness when asked about his hidden treasure.
Bueng Bang Sue is also home to a historical area called Bang Pho. It was a settlement for Annamese immigrants in the 18th century. The area is located along the Chao Phraya River. And in the heart of the district you will find the Bang Sue Junction Railway Station.
The station is a symbol of history and progress. It is a place where the past meets the future. Here, you see the remnants of a railway line that was built during World War II. The line was used by the occupying Japanese. It was heavily damaged by Allied air raids. Later, the railway line was converted to a double track for the State Railway of Thailand. Today, the station is the site of Bangkok’s Krung Thep Aphiwat Central Terminal. You find connections to three subway lines, and the station serves as a link between the Northern, Northeastern, Eastern, and Southern Lines of the State Railway of Thailand. You can access the station by using the MRT Blue Line or you can take a taxi. From here you can travel all over Thailand and even to other countries by train.
The station is more than just a place to catch a train. It is a testament to Thailand’s resilience. The railway line was heavily damaged during World War II, but it was rebuilt with the help of the people of Thailand. The station is a reminder of the important role that railways have played in the history of Thailand. They connected its provinces. Today, the station is a symbol of Thailand’s commitment to progress as it is a point of departure for high-speed trains. The area is in Chatuchak district.
