Bang Sue Central Station (Thai: สถานีกลางบางซื่อ Sa-thanee Klang Bang Sue) or Bang Sue Grand Station is to be the new railway hub of Thailand, located in Chatuchak, Bangkok. It is to replace the currently in use Bangkok Railway Station at Hua Lamphong as the terminus for all long-distance rail services from Bangkok.[1] The station will be submitted for Cabinet approval in 2017 and construction should begin in 2018.[2] The station will replace the existing Bang Sue Junction Railway Station and incorporate Bang Sue MRT Station.

It will be the largest railway station in Southeast Asia and will have 24 platforms.[3] The station has 171,000 m2 of total area. The 218-rai (35 hectares) area around the station will be developed as a business and commercial hub, in three zones.
