We advise taking Train #75 departing at 08.20 because this is the only train which travels during the day time. Passengers on the other three trains see nothing because the journey takes place at night. If you do wish to travel overnight then we recommend taking Train #25 departing at 20.00 which uses Thailand’s newest train carriages and has sleeper berths available.

It costs around 250 THB extra to book a ticket online compared to buying a ticket at a train station. This additional fee is worth paying if:
- You want to guarantee a 1st or 2nd Class AC Sleeper as they tickets often sell out a few days before the date of the travel.
- You do not arrive in Thailand very long before you plan to travel and this makes it difficult for you to go in person to the train station to buy a ticket in advance.
- You prefer the convenience of buying a ticket online without needing to travel to a train station and queue up to buy a ticket.
Travel to Udon Thani
View from the train going to Udon Thani
You could fly to Udon Thani or you could take a bus, both options are quicker, but if you did you would be missing out on one of Thailand’s great train journeys. The route, particularly the section from Ayutthaya to Nakhon Ratchasima passes some fantastic scenery that you would never see unless you took the train. The four notable things to look out for are: 1. The large white Buddha in the mountains before Pak Chong. 2. The rolling hills of Pak Chong district. 3. Lumtakong Lake 4. Wat Non Kum temple. Brilliant views of an area well off the ‘beaten track’ for foreign tourists are thrown in for free with the price of a train ticket.
