Travelling by train in Thailand is a unique and memorable experience that offers a glimpse into the country's stunning landscapes and rich culture. The Thai railway system is extensive, covering much of the country, and offers a range of train types to suit different budgets and preferences.
From the bustling city of Bangkok, travellers can board a train and journey through the lush countryside, passing by rice paddies, rolling hills, and charming villages. The slower pace of train travel allows passengers to take in the sights and sounds of their surroundings and to connect with local people and cultures along the way.
One of Thailand’s most popular train routes is the Northern Line, which runs from Bangkok to Chiang Mai. This journey takes 11-12 hours, but the comfortable sleeper trains offer private cabins with beds, allowing passengers to relax and sleep through the night.
Another popular train route is the Southern Line, which runs from Bangkok to the South with jumping-off points at Chumphon, Surat Thani (for Ko Samui or Khao Sok Nationa Park), Trang and Hat Yai
Travelling by train in Thailand is not only a practical way to get around the country, but also an enriching experience that allows travellers to connect with the country's people and landscapes in a unique way.
It can often be tricky to obtain first-class tickets as they are few and far between and sell out instantly. Second-class tickets are easier to obtain, and the carriage is comfortable with air con and seats that convert into sleeper beds.
You can include this experience as part of an Experience Travel Group holiday designed exclusively for you.
