Hia Hin to Get New Railway Station

Oh no, and what will happen with the iconic railway station which is considered to be the most beautiful in Thailand!?

The original railway station will be moved just 225 m south of the current location and will retain all its historical architecture – from the elaborate royal pavillion to signature red and yellow design, so your Instagram photos won't be affected.

The new station will serve high-speed trains plying the 421-km route between Nakhon Pathom and Chumphon. Previously it was planned to built a new station 7 km south of the city but the project has been revised. The high-speed train station will be constructed very close to the current one and though this location requres additional 4 km of railway line, it was decided that providing convenient access for visitors from the train station to all the city's attractions and facilities is of primary importance.

The current Hua Hin railway station was built in 1910 along the Southern Line opened in 1911. It was later rebuilt in 1926 in Victorian style we can see today. Sanam Chandra Palace Railway Pavillion was relocated to Hua Hin railway station from Sanam Chandra Palace in 1967 and quickly became its main draw.
