FAQ
Is there a direct train from Pattaya to Nakhon Ratchasima?
No. You change trains once, in Bangkok, and book each train as a separate ticket.
What is the fastest way from Pattaya to Nakhon Ratchasima by train?
Take RP888 at 16:26, change in Bangkok and continue on SP23. The whole trip takes about 8h 59m, including 2h 10m to change trains.
What is the cheapest train from Pattaya to Nakhon Ratchasima?
From about 269 THB per adult in total, on RP888 and RP141 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.
