    Built during the reign of King Rama VI, and only a short distance from the centre of town, Hua Hin's railway station and adjacent royal waiting room are undeniably attractive. The brightly painted wooden buildings that are Thai in concept and design somehow manage to have a 'Victorian' feel to them. The story about the birth of Hua Hin as a royal seaside getaway town would be incomplete without a mention of this historic railway station. Back in the early days, there was no road access to this idyllic beach town, and train travel was a new and delightful alternative to get from Bangkok to Hua Hin instead of by boat.
    The most photographed part of the building is the Sanam Chandra Palace Railway Pavilion, which was moved from Sanam Chandra Palace in 1967 to its current location at Hua Hin Train Station for use as royal waiting room. The building itself is complimented by a well maintained garden and a peaceful tree lined location a short distance from the sea front.
