I had to look this up. The official name of Bang Sue Central Station is Krung Thep Aphiwat Central Terminal. "Bangkok, 4 January, 2023 – The State Railway of Thailand (SRT) has announced the relocation – effective from 19 January, 2023, of 52 long-distance, rapid, and express train services from Bangkok’s Hua Lamphong Station to the new Krung Thep Aphiwat Central Terminal. From this date onwards, tourists will need to catch their trains to other destinations throughout Thailand from the Krung Thep Aphiwat Central Terminal, while the inbound trains to Bangkok will also arrive here. This includes 14 train services to the North, 20 to the South, and 18 to the Northeast (Isan)." www.tatnews.org/2023/01/thailands-long-distance-trains-to-operate-from-new-bangkok-rail-hub-from-19-january-2023

Many thanks for that Ronaldo, I always knew that underneath it all you were a decent sort of cove.

There's also the new SRT 'Red Line' you can take from Bang Sue to Don Muang.
