FAQ

Can I go from the south to the north of Thailand by train?

Yes, but there is no direct train. All lines meet in Bangkok (and the Northern and Northeastern lines also meet in Ayutthaya), so you change trains once and book two tickets.

Where do I change trains in Bangkok?

Most long-distance trains use Krung Thep Aphiwat Central Terminal, so you usually change in the same station.
