Good to know

Each train is a separate ticket. Book the first train, then the second train for the day it leaves.
Leave at least 2–3 hours to change trains. Long-distance trains, especially from the south, often run late, and a missed connection is not refunded.
Most long-distance trains in Bangkok use Krung Thep Aphiwat Central Terminal, so you usually change in the same building.
Times and fares come from our timetable and can change. The booking page shows the live times, seats and fares.

FAQ

Is there a direct train from Hat Yai to Nakhon Si Thammarat?

No. You change trains once, in Thung Song or Lang Suan or Surat Thani or Chaiya or Chumphon or Lamae or Ban Song, and book each train as a separate ticket.

What is the fastest way from Hat Yai to Nakhon Si Thammarat by train?

Take RP170 at 18:20, change in Thung Song and continue on EX85. The whole trip takes about 15h 35m, including 11h to change trains.

How much time should I leave to change trains?

At least one hour at the same station. Long-distance trains, especially from the south, are often late, so a wait of 2–3 hours is safer. If you change between Hua Lamphong and Krung Thep Aphiwat in Bangkok, allow extra time to cross the city.
