Griff71 Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little_me Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griff71 Posted May 30, 2022 Author Share Posted May 30, 2022 Yes Cheaper to fly but I have used before and enjoy the experiance of train travel, the 2nd class sleeper train I have used before No 14 or No 10 have had air con Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
