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 Nakhon Si Thammarat to Sungai Kolok?
No. You change trains once, in Lamae or Lang Suan or Chaiya or Ban Song or Surat Thani or Tha Chana or Thung Song or Chumphon or Bangkok or Phetchaburi, and book each train as a separate ticket.
What is the fastest way from Nakhon Si Thammarat to Sungai Kolok by train?
Take RP174 at 16:30, change in Lamae and continue on RP171. The whole trip takes about 17h 40m, including 2h 39m to change trains.
What is the cheapest train from Nakhon Si Thammarat to Sungai Kolok?
From about 531 THB per adult in total, on RP174 and RP171 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.
