FAQ
Is there a direct train from Nakhon Si Thammarat to Chiang Mai?
No. You change trains once, in Bangkok, and book each train as a separate ticket.
What is the fastest way from Nakhon Si Thammarat to Chiang Mai by train?
Take EX86 at 16:00, change in Bangkok and continue on SP7. The whole trip takes about 25h 50m, including 1h 20m to change trains.
What is the cheapest train from Nakhon Si Thammarat to Chiang Mai?
From about 472 THB per adult in total, on RP174 and RP109 in the cheapest available class.
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.
