Bangkok, Hua Lampong Railway Station
Having been through this station, we can tell you: it looks so imposing in postcards, but it was a pussycat to navigate once you’re inside, and there was no security whatsoever. You could literally step out of a taxi and directly onto a train. (A ticket would help, down the line.) But it’s (semi-) closed now. Unused card. Grade: 1
