Hua Lum Pong Station, Bangkok

We went to Hua Lum Pong railway station in Bangkok to get the overnight train to Chang Mai. More obvious than ever here was the sharp divide between the "rich" visiting westerners and the much poorer Thais. When you enter two large upstairs balconies line the station and are filled with cafes bars and restaurants. Below is the waiting area of the station ... You'll find no Thai people upstairs.
