Thai Railway Ticket Prices & Train Classes
To get most of your train ride to choose the class of your ticket wisely. Consider the length of your trip, the time of the day, and your own preferences. For longer travels by night, first or second-class tickets in a sleeper coach might be the best solution. Both options allow you to sleep your night away as comfortably as it gets on a train and save the precious daytime of your vacation. Note that sometimes first-class tickets cannot be booked for short couple-of-hours trips on a longer itinerary. They are often reserved for travellers who cover the whole route from departure to the terminal station. Yet second-class sleepers of sometimes soft seats are a decent alternative if 4-5 hours bring you to your point B. Check what is included in the price. Linen and towels may or may not be provided for overnight trips as water, snacks, or toiletries. It is always a good idea to bring some layers on board as air-conditioning or heating may fail to meet your standards.
Travel by Train: Pros & Cons
Pros of Train Travel
- Railway travel is an ideal solution to beat traffic. While delays are sometimes possible for various reasons, in general, neither rush-hour, long weekends nor high season fever will ruin your timing with railways.
- Online booking of railway tickets saves you a lot of time. For many destinations, tickets can be booked as long as 90 days before your travel date which brings planning to a new level. Yet last-minute deals are often available, too. There is no need to go to the train station to book either – do it wherever you want.
- In many cases, train tickets are much more affordable than air tickets. On certain routes, the length of travel by high-speed trains equals or even beats air travel if you consider the time you spend in the airport for check-in and going through security and/or customs formalities.
- Very often, railway stations are located in the center of the city. It saves you a lot of time to reach your accommodation. Older railway stations often have the added bonus of being super atmospheric occupying historical buildings. Travelling to/from such stations can be considered a worthy point of your whole travel plan.
- Besides saving you daytime for other more enjoyable things, a night on a train is a good way to cut your hotel expenses. If it is a sleeper you opt for, you may expect to sleep quite well, too. Well, better than on a sleeper bus for sure!
- There are luxury trains serving some routes, and it is definitely an experience to try at least once in your life.
Cons of Train Travel
- The longer the distance – the longer the train ride, and if you have to cover a considerable mileage, it will be very time-consuming. So sometimes air travel is a better alternative even if costlier.
- Connections with your onward transport should be planned with extra care. Though the timetables are normally set, delays and cancellations are always possible due to a variety of reasons. Another thing to consider is the location of the station where your train arrives or departs from. There is more than one train station in certain cities and locations, which sometimes causes confusion.
- One of the most common complaints about trains on certain routes is cleanliness. It mostly concerns the cheapest class coaches and toilets.
- Stops are not always clearly announced or marked during some train trips. Electronic screens do solve this issue easily but are not present everywhere. So ensure you track your stop with GPS or just ask a conductor if any.

Ettimootil JOn of the best railway station with all facility we had a problem with the ticket but without fail the official send us with a red flag to the ticketing center and was handled with ease over all one of the best functional railway station to me

Andrea DBooked the cheapest option as didn't want A/C. However seats are small & hard, not much room. Fan is not sufficient as gets very hot. Only o.k if you have a window seat facing your direction so you get breeze also. Very crowded on a Friday. Space for luggage storage above. Can order food on train. Beautiful scenery but a long journey. Train was delayed arriving by 1 hour so 9hrs instead of the advertised 8! Would do again but in second or 1st class!

Vera NIt was not possible to sleep as the very bright lights were on all night. The horrendous smell from the toilets came through the carriage continuously. It'd better to book the sleeper train but the tickets are always sold out unless you book 2-3 weeks in advance, so I suggest taking a bus if you need a ticket last minute.

Afiya QComfortable ride at an affordable price. The train started on time but ran 1.5 hours late; I was told that this service usually runs late as they don’t account for border control. So don’t plan any flight or anything time sensitive on the same afternoon.
The lights stay on all night and you must bring your eye masks and travel pillows. It’s extremely cold inside the coach, but blankets are provided onboard so that was an added bonus. The washrooms got dirty real quick; I recommend bringing your own bidets and wet wipes for convenience.
The immigration process at Nong Khai railway station was smooth and seamless. Luggage can be left onboard when getting off for immigration as the same train continues to Vientiane.

Christopher B2nd Class AC car. Only one door for ingress/egress so if you are all the way to the front of the car with a heavy bag, you have to lug it all the way to the rear.
Very small area in the car to store bags that will not fit in the very narrow overhead area.Maybe two bags for 88 passengers.
Snack callouts aloud every five minutes in Thai. Annoying.
Seats were hard and uncomfortable. Windows were dirty so not great for sightseeing or photography.
Train was 45 minutes late getting into Hua Hin from Surat Thani.
I did not engage 12Go support. There was no issue with 12Go. The online ticketing process was quick and painless.

Chollada LI booked my train ticket online in advance, expecting to have a reasonable seat for the journey. However, the seat was randomly assigned, and I was given a seat right next to the restroom.
The journey from the departure station to the final destination took around 12 hours, which made the experience quite uncomfortable. I understand that seats may be assigned automatically, but for such a long journey, passengers should have the option to select their preferred seats when booking online.
Unfortunately, this experience makes me hesitate to book train tickets in advance again. I hope the booking system can be improved in the future to provide passengers with more flexibility in choosing their seats.

While some say, that trains in Thailand are old, and perhaps doesn't have a shiny polished look, I'd say that's was a cozy and relaxing experience.

Anastasia VTrain was punctual, stuff spoke a bit of English, not very friendly but helpful. The bedsheets were already laid out. The blanket was as in a plastic bag, sealed, but it didn’t smell clean. They leave the white bright light on the whole night, but at least you have a curtain to close yourself off. Comfortable ladder to climb up. You had two toilets in the wagon, a sitting one and a squatting one, with toilet paper, and the sink had a soap for washing your hands.

Vladimir SThe train has come and departed on time. The boarding process has been organized well, and it was easy to find the boarding zone at the station, even being a foreigner, who came late before boarding and has been in a hurry. The train itself is not new, however the seats are clean, you could recline the seat, there's retractable stand for the legs and overall enough space even if you're of a hulky build.
