The
Hua Hin railway station is one of oldest railway station in Thailand. Its
most striking feature is the unique Royal Waiting Room in Thai architectural
style. The Royal Waiting Room was built in the reign of King Rama VI in
order to welcome the King and his entourage. The outstanding feature of the
station is the pavilion constructed in the reign of
King Rama VI; it was originally named as "Plub
Pla Sanamchan", and it was initially situated at Sanamchan Palace in Nakorn
Pathom Province.
The
Royal Waiting Room, the original building built in the same architectural
style as Maruekkhathayawan Palace, stands adjacent to the station,and is a
favourite spot for taking pictures for both Thai and foreign tourists.
This
train station is the attractive site in Hua Hin that you should never miss.
Behind the Railway Station to the west stands the
Royal Hua Hin Golf Course,
the first ever in Thailand.
