About Udon Thani Train Station

Opened in June 1941 as part of the Northeastern Line Khon Kaen-Udon Thani section, Udon Thani Train Station is in Mak Khaeng Subdistrict in the district of Udon Thani. It is considered as a class 1 railway station situated 568.843 km away from Bangkok railway station. Like many railway stations in Thailand, the façade of Udon Thani Train Station is quite decorative in addition to being close to the city centre.

The train station is approximately 1 km from Central Plaza shopping centre (which is only a 10-minute walk), the Udon Thani bus station as well as the night market, so a short walk to the station will provide visitors with an example of the Thai railway system or the somewhat dated Thai intercity trains. While modern trains are already running from Bangkok to Korat on this line, there are plans to upgrade and introduce more of it on this route in the future.

How to get to Udon Thani Railway Station

Visitors around Udon Thani town can get to the train station with several options besides walking for those who are in the city centre. Udon Thani has two main bus stations, which are Bus Terminal 1 (Old Bus Station) that is centrally located between Prajak and Posri roads just southwest of the train station and Bus Terminal 2 (New Bus Station), situated far west of town.

A fleet of economical public songthaews (pick-up truck turn taxi) connects the city, passengers who are not familiar with the system can safely board the number 15 that covers along Posri Road in the east of town near the old bus station before cutting west past the police stations on Srisuk Road and continuing onto the new bus station. Other songthaews like the number 10 and 22 goes to both stations but passengers must know where to hop off to avoid unwanted situations.

In Udon Thani it is easy to catch a taxi or tuk-tuk to the train station if you are staying at a hotel that is a little bit further away from the city centre. The tuk-tuks are known for over-charging foreigners so do ask for a negotiable price before letting the driver drop-off from one station to the other.

Other more exciting alternatives are bicycles and motorbike rentals that are available at several places on Soi Sampantamit at Central Plaza on Prajak Road. Charges on the motorbike rentals heavily depend on the style and how long you intend to keep it in your journey.
