Hua Lamphong Railway Station
I was here the day they transferred the main train services to Bang Sue. The old station is not dead — it still runs regional trains — but it's changed. The silence is louder now.
Opened 1916. Italian Neoclassical with Siamese stucco detailing. Designed by Mario Tamagno, the same Turin-trained architect who worked across the Dusit district.
