FAQ

Is there a direct train from Udon Thani to Chiang Mai?

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

What is the fastest way from Udon Thani to Chiang Mai by train?

Take RP134 at 20:59, change in Rangsit and continue on SP7. The whole trip takes about 20h 51m, including 1h to change trains.

What is the cheapest train from Udon Thani to Chiang Mai?

From about 514 THB per adult in total, on EX76 and EX51 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.
