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 Phitsanulok to Khon Kaen?

No. You change trains once, in Ayutthaya or Rangsit or Bangkok or Phachi, and book each train as a separate ticket.

What is the fastest way from Phitsanulok to Khon Kaen by train?

Take RP102 at 13:42, change in Ayutthaya and continue on SP25. The whole trip takes about 14h 28m, including 2h 37m to change trains.

What is the cheapest train from Phitsanulok to Khon Kaen?

From about 365 THB per adult in total, on RP102 and RP133 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.
