Train Travel in August


Recommended Posts

Hi, I have read somewhere that the new at Bang Sue will not be operating for intercity travel until September, I intend to travel from Chiang Mai to Bangkok mid August but plan to buy my ticket in advance in July when I am in Bangkok. I assume that I just go to the ticket office in the old station for this as I have done in the past but is there any travel agents in the sukumvit area where I can do this?

Thank you

ticket office in the train station, specifically avoiding the 100+ scammers standing right outside (in the train station) trying to sell you a tour...  

MTR from Asoke to Bang Sue is quicker and easier than wandering around travel agent offices.

Or, admit it's 2022 and fly...  

and that "special tourist train"... Does NOT have AIR CONDITIONING!!! (I think it only goes South).

Thai rail might be reasonably safe and on time... But speedy with modern convenience they are not...  I'm going to just guess 8 hours Bangkok to Chang Mai?  

Domestic air travel within in Thailand is cheap.
