Hua Lamphong MRT station: a practical guide for visitors

Getting oriented

Hua Lamphong is on the MRT Blue Line. Its neighbours on the line are Sam Yan and Wat Mangkon, so you can travel between them without changing trains. Because there is no interchange here, plan your route before you come down to the platform if you need another line.

The station has four exits, numbered 1 to 4. Check your map before you climb the stairs, so you come up on the side you need.

What is nearby

Several museums and temples sit within a short walk. The Yaowarat Chinatown Heritage Center, the Wat Traimit Museum, Wat Traimit Witthayaram Worawihan and the Bangkok Kunsthalle are each about 7 minutes on foot. The list below shows every nearby place with its walking time.

Within 500 metres there are 56 places to eat, so food is easy to find close to the station. You will also find a few convenience outlets nearby for drinks and small items.

Getting there

The walk times on this page are estimates from map data. Check your own route on a map app before you set off.

Once you have chosen your exit, look up at the street signs and follow your map. If you are unsure, pause at the foot of the stairs and check your route again.

Before you go

Walks from this station are short, so you can see more than one place in an afternoon. Start with the museums in the Yaowarat area, walk to the temples nearby, and return to the station when you are ready. Keep a note of your exit number so the way back is easy.
