Phaya Thai station (Thai: สถานีพญาไท, pronounced [sā.tʰǎː.nīː pʰā.jāː tʰāj]) is a rapid transit station on the Airport Rail Link, BTS Sukhumvit Line and a railway halt on the Eastern Line in Ratchathewi District, Bangkok, Thailand. The Airport Rail Link station is located above the intercity Eastern Line at a level crossing on Phaya Thai Road. The station is surrounded by the government buildings, office towers and condominiums along Phaya Thai and Si Ayutthaya Road. Suan Pakkad Palace (Thai: วังสวนผักกาด), a traditional Thai antiques Museum and gallery is located nearby to the east of the station.
The station is the terminus of the Airport Rail Link City Line to Suvarnabhumi Airport.
History
SRT
Phaya Thai opened as a halt on 24 January 1907 on the Eastern Line between Bangkok (Hua Lamphong) and Chachoengsao Junction, operated by the State Railway of Thailand. In recent years, the halt has been criticised for neglect and poor maintenance by the SRT as the tracks are being handed over for construction of the Don Mueang–Suvarnabhumi–U-Tapao high-speed railway.
BTS
Phaya Thai BTS station opened as part of the BTS Sukhumvit Line on 5 December 1999.
Airport Rail Link
Phaya Thai ARL station opened on 23 August 2010, along with a skywalk connecting it to the BTS station.
