FAQ
Is there a direct train from Surat Thani to Nakhon Ratchasima?
No. You change trains once, in Bangkok, and book each train as a separate ticket.
What is the fastest way from Surat Thani to Nakhon Ratchasima by train?
Take RP168 at 18:32, change in Bangkok and continue on SP21. The whole trip takes about 15h 29m, including 1h to change trains.
What is the cheapest train from Surat Thani to Nakhon Ratchasima?
From about 355 THB per adult in total, on EX86 and RP135 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.
