The station will also be environmentally friendly and feature at least 30% green spaces.

Bang Sue Grand Station will feature a platform for the Bangkok to Nong Khai high-speed train project. This project is part of the larger programme that involves connecting Thailand with Laos and China.

The first phase of the project between Bangkok and Nakhon Ratchasima stretching 250.77km is currently under construction. The remaining route covers a distance of 356.1km.

Once complete, the project will enable passengers to travel from Bangkok to Nong Khai in three hours.

Thailand initially planned the Bang Sue Grand Station as an extension of the Red Line Mass Transit System in the National Infrastructure Development Plan (2015-2022).

However, the scope of the project was later expanded to develop the site as a new transit hub.
