This is a relatively short journey and recommend taking Train #171 which departs at 15:10, as this avoids needing to get up early to take the 07:30 departure, and arrives in the evening just enough time to check into your hotel and go out to eat dinner. All other departures (except the early train) arrive after 21:00 in the evening which is less convenient.

Ticket Prices from Bangkok to Prachuap Khiri Khan

It costs 50 THB to 100 THB more to buy a ticket from Bangkok to Prachuap Khiri Khan online than it does to purchase the same ticket at a train station in Thailand.

The advantage of paying extra to buy a ticket in advance online is that you guarantee your seat on the train. Air-conditioned Sleepers and AC Seats on the fast train often sell out before the day of travel and if you do not book in advance you may only to be able to travel in fan cooled 3rd Class Seats which are very cheap but not very comfortable.

About Travel to Prachuap Khiri Khan

Located 240 km south of Bangkok Prachuap Khiri Khan is a largely undiscovered destination for foreign visitors, but is a popular destination for Thai holiday makers since King Rama V visited the nearby Praya Nakorn Cave in the late 1800s. The principle attractions of the town of Prachuap Khiri Khan are the wide sweeping beach with large limestone outcrops at both the Northern and Southern ends of the beach.

Prachuap Khiri Khan is a laid back fishing town which is yet to be overrun by tourists unlike the nearby towns of Hua Hin and Cha Am. The town itself has some charming wooden buildings and very affordable restaurants serving locally caught seafood. This is a great destination and foreign visitors who go before it becomes another destination on the tourist trail will be pleased that they did so.

Visit Wat Thammikaram Worawihan

A visit to Wat Thammikaram is a ‘must do’ on a tour of Prachuap Khiri Khan. Located at the top of Chong Khra Chok Hill, Wat Thammikaram Worawihan is the best place to view the town, majestic coastline and river estuary of Prachuap Khiri Khan. This hilltop temple is also home to a fairly tame troop of wild macaque monkeys who roam freely among the temple buildings.

We advise visiting early in the morning between 07:00 and 08:00 before it becomes too hot to climb the 418 steps leading up to the temple. The monkeys are also more active in the morning while the weather is cooler and at this time of day you will normally see over 100 adult and young monkeys playing amongst the ruins.
