The Royal Waiting Room

23 Aug

One of must-see highlights of Hua Hin is the train station and it’s beautiful royal pavilion.


Hua Hin is one of the oldest seaside resorts in Thailand dating back to the time of King V. It was popular with both the royal family and Bangkokians.


The waiting room used to be a royal pavilion built for King Rama VI at his Sanam Chan Palace. It was later moved here in about 1974.


The last time I came I seem to remember a steam train at the front of the station. However now it is around the back. It was bought from England and used prior World War II.


Around the front of the station there are two old carriages that have been renovated. They are now both libraries which are open every day apart from Sundays.
