Hua Mak station (Thai: สถานีหัวหมาก, pronounced [sā.tʰǎː.nīː hǔa màːk]) is a station on the Eastern Line of the State Railway of Thailand, an Airport Rail Link station and an MRT station on the Yellow Line, located on Srinagarindra Road in Phatthanakan Subdistrict, Suan Luang District, Bangkok. Three rail operators run the station complex separately at their respective stations, with no interchanges between the three stations.

History

Hua Mak opened as "Ban Hua Mak" railway station on 24 January 1907 on the Eastern Line between Bangkok (Hua Lamphong) and Chachoengsao Junction, operated by the State Railway of Thailand. It is unknown when the station was renamed to Hua Mak. The original wooden building was demolished to make way for the construction of the Airport Rail Link.

The ARL station opened on 23 August 2010. The ARL is intended to be the backbone of the future High Speed Rail line (HSR) to Chonburi and Rayong. This would use the current ARL tracks, and would connect all three nearby airports; starting at Don Mueang International Airport and passing through Krung Thep Aphiwat Central Terminal, Makkasan Station, Suvarnabhumi International Airport, Chachoengsao, Chonburi, Si Racha, Pattaya and terminating at U-Tapao International Airport.

Construction of the MRT Yellow Line began in March 2018 and a station was to be placed near the railway station. It was initially named "Phatthanakan" station following the nearby Phatthanakan Road. However, on 6 September 2021, the Department of Rail Transport renamed it Hua Mak. Trial operations began on 3 June 2023 between Hua Mak and Samrong.
